- I use the following simple script and pipe postscript documents to it:
-
- if [ $# -eq 0 ]
- then
- gs -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=djet500c -sOUTPUTFILE='|lp -dtrdj -oraw' -
- else
- gs -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=djet500c -sOUTPUTFILE='|lp -dtrdj -oraw' \
- $@ quit.ps
- fi

- The fonts may need some tweaking - the font that comes built-in is called
- 'ugly' for good reason; large point sizes really DO look ugly. But then
- lots of other fonts seem to be available and could be installed I guess.
- I mostly do graphics or Framemaker and it seems to work OK, including
- color. You will need the latest ghostscript for color deskjet support.
