I have a Brother HL-1250 printer on the network, controlled
by a Win98 machine, and I am trying to print from a RH7.1
i686 running
Linux 2.4.9-12
printconf-0.2.15-2
ghostscript-5.50-19.rh7.1
LPRng-3.7.4-23
Configuring via printconf, I get only one option for the driver,
ljet4, event though the recommended driver according to the database
is hl1250 (the printer is supposed to work "perfectly" if I believe
the database), and both
/usr/share/printconf/foomatic/data/Brother-HL-1250-hl1250.foo
/usr/share/printconf/foomatic/data/Brother-HL-1250-ljet4.foo
exist. The resulting /etc/printcap looks like
brother:\
:sh:\
:ml=0:\
:mx=0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/brother:\
:lp=|/usr/share/printconf/smbprint:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/mf_wrapper:
The problem is, I cannot print postscript with it - it comes out all
smudged and totally illegible.
I would like at least to try the hl1250 driver, but I have not been
able to decipher what I have to do. I don't even see where printconf
takes ljet4 from. If I did, maybe I could have hacked it. Is it
somewhere in the guts of printconf/magicfilter? I looked at the
various docs...
Can anyone enlighten me?
