- The name of this driver is very confusing, it is not a driver for
- all GDI printers, it only works with the so-called
- "SmartGDI" or "PrinThru" printers of
- Samsung.
-
- The original driver published under the GPL by Samsung some years
- ago has a bug which prevents some files from being printed. Grant
- Taylor has implemented a workaround. On the driver's download
- page (it is here on linuxprinting.org, Samsung does not provide
- this driver any more) you will find a patch and an already fixed
- version.<p>
-
- And <a
- href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/ghostscript-8.x/drivers/gdi/">here</a>
- you get the version for GPL/AFPL GhostScript 8.x, also with
- Grant's fixes. In ESP GhostScript 8.x this driver is already
- included. If you want to add it to your GhostScript, put the
- <tt>gdevgdi.c</tt> file into the
- <tt>src/</tt> subdirectory of the GhostScript source
- package, append <tt>gdevgdi-gdi.mak</tt> to
- <tt>src/contrib.mak</tt>, and add
- "<tt>$(DD)gdi.dev</tt>" to one of the
- "<tt>DEVICE_DEVS...</tt>" lines of
- <tt>src/Makefile.in</tt>. Then compile as
- ususal.<p>
-
- This Foomatic entry gives access to all options which the Windows
- driver provides for Samsung's GDI printers. As this was not
- forseen by the original GhostScript driver from Samsung, a hack
- was applied in this Foomatic entry. The driver does not need to be
- patched for that.<p>
-
- If you are using MagicFilter 1.2, you can use <a
- href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/samsung-gdi/gdi-filter.gz">this
- filter</a> with the driver (developed on Debian Potato,
- contributed by Felix E. Klee, felix dot klee at inka dot de). To
- install you have to uncompress it and to copy it into your
- MagicFilter directory (<tt>/etc/magicfilter</tt> on
- Debian). This file does not work with newer versions of
- MagicFilter.
