- Hi -
-
- I have built ghostscript on a 4d25, hoping to use it to drive HP
- laserjets on both machines. The code works, because if I direct it to a file
- I can print that file out on another machine. I am not having much luck trying
- to route it diectly to the spooler, however. If I include the switch
-
- -sOutputFile=\|lp
-
- as they say to do, the print comes out garbled, because lp screens its input,
- presumably. I have the HP selected as a dumb printer. Can anyone give
- me a clue as how to set it up, or what switches to send lp, to avoid this?
-
- I also built support for a dec ln03 into the system, because I may
- occaisionally use that printer. The ln03 communicates thru a serial port.
- Will there be any difference, except in port selection?
-
- Thanks 10E6
