Hi all: I have a problem printing from Gimp 1.1.14 to a "postscript" printer. My printer doesn't even start printing, although "lpq" shows the job in the que, and says that it's printing.
I tried printing to a .ps file, and then I can successfully view it with "gv" and "xv". But if I try "lpr file.ps", then, again, nothing happens. I tried fiddling with postscript levels in Gimp, and that didn't help. All other applications (such as netscape, for example), print to the same printer w/o any problems. FWIW, the printer itself is an HP DeskJet 697c, and I use it with "hpdj" filter from ghostscript. My printcap looks like this: ,----[ printcap ] | lp|lp1|HP Deskjet 697C Draft:\ | :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp1:\ | :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ | :if=/etc/hpdj/hpdj-draft:\ | :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: | | lp2|HP Deskjet 697c Normal:\ | :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp2:\ | :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ | :if=/etc/hpdj/hpdj-normal:\ | :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: | | lp3|HP Deskjet 697c Best:\ | :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp3:\ | :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ | :if=/etc/hpdj/hpdj-best:\ | :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: `---- There's nothing at all in /var/log/lp-errs. I can print using Gimp's own HP DJ driver, but I really don't like that driver, for it's very inky. Any help highly appreciated! -- Arcady Genkin http://www.thpoon.com Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
