- gs-pnm2ppa is a driver that integrates pnm2ppa into Jacob Langford's
- simple spool-free printing system PDQ ("Print, Don't Queue").
-
- It will work for the following printers that use the PPA protocol:
-
- HP DeskJet 710C, 712C
- HP DeskJet 720C, 722C
- HP DeskJet 820Cse, 820Csi
- HP DeskJet 1000Cse, 1000Csi
-
- The printer must be installed LOCALLY on the host that runs pdq;
- translation to the PPA format that the printer accepts must be done
- on the host to which the printer is physically attached.
- gs-pnm2ppa cannot be used to print to a PPA printer that is accessed
- over a network.
- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- PDQ currently has a homepage at:
-
- http://pdq.sourceforge.net
-
- The latest release (as of September 2000) is pdq-2.2.1.
- ------------------------
-
- After installing a version of pdq that does not include this driver,
- just copy the file "gs-pnm2ppa" into the pdq ghostscript driver directory
- (usually /etc/pdq/drivers/ghostscript/), and the file "dummy" into
- the interfaces directory (usually /etc/pdq/interfaces).
- You must be root to do this:
-
- cp gs-pnm2ppa /etc/pdq/drivers/ghostscript
- cp dummy /etc/pdq/interfaces
-
- Then run "xpdq" to setup the printer, selecting the driver "gs-pnm2ppa",
- and the interface "dummy". You must specify The local parallel printer port
- to which the printer is attached when configuring the driver.
- You must then return to the "driver option" screen and select the correct
- printer model and desired color mode. You may need to exit xpdq to
- activate the settings you just entered.
-
- Note that the user of the printer must have write permission to
- the port it is attached to.
-
- Thats all!.
