Does anyone have the various parts of NeWSprint 1.0 that are required to drive a Hewlett Packard Deskjet 500C (color) printer from a Sparc 10? Everything from the /etc/printcap on down!
I can get black and white output by setting the printer up as a HP Deskjet Plus from within NeWSprint but what's the point of running 16.7 million colors if you can't get hardcopy! NeWSprint 1.0 doesn't have an entry for color other than Seiko ColorWax. I've looked at the devkit that comes with NeWSprint but it would appear to be a very long task to develop the appropriate code etc. necessary to output color graphics to a Deskjet 500C printer and I'm certain my skills don't approach the level require
Please mail ideas, suggestions and source code to : bstedman@barry.daa.uc.edu, I'll summarize and put the responses back here.
