-
- I recently grabbed a copy of Ghostscript for DOS from a SIMTEL20 mirror
- site (wuarchive.wustl.edu) and it was compiled with a multitude of
- drivers. I get very nice output from my HP DeskJet 500 with the
- following command:
-
- GS386 -sDEVICE=djet500 filename.ps
-
- Or, if you're using IBM OS/2 2.0, you can make a Ghostscript icon and
- drag Postscript files onto it and they'll spit off the printer:
-
- Program settings:
-
- Path and file name: drive:\path\DOS4GW.EXE
- Parameters: GS386 -sDEVICE=djet500 -sOUTPUTFILE=LPT1.OS2
- Working directory: drive:\path
-
- Session settings (DOS settings for DOS full screen/DOS window):
-
- DMPI_DOS_API: ENABLED
- DMPI_MEMORY_LIMIT: 4 (or more)
-
- You don't *need* the -sOUTPUTFILE=LPT1.OS2, but it appears to make
- printing a little smoother.
-
- (OS/2 2.0 users may also want to check out the Ghostscript 2.5 beta 1
- available on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu... it has a Presentation Manager driver!)
