Does it work if you use CUPS? FWIW, I had similar problems on my system as the OP described, both with LPRng and with CUPS. I also ran gs manually to output directly to /dev/lp0, effectively bypassing any printer spooling software, and failed when using the ijs/hpijs driver. I think this might be because of an hpijs mismatch between foomatic and ghostscript. I doubt that foomatic plays a role here; as I wrote in my previous comment, I ran ghostscript manually similarly like this: $ gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -dIjsUseOutputFD \ -sDeviceManufacturer="HEWLETT-PACKARD" -sDeviceModel="DESKJET 990" \ -r300 -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sOutputFile="/dev/lp0" file.ps -c quit This command shouldn't involve foomatic/cups/lprng whatsoever. As a result, nothing was printed. I'm currently downloading the latest SKipjack updates and will try, if hpijs-1.0.4 will solve the problem. Okay, my mistake, it's because of a mismatch between the IJS client (in ghostscript) and /usr/bin/hpijs. Expect ghostscript-6.52-7 to be the package that actually fixes this. You'll also need foomatic-1.1-0.20020313.3, which has the correct calling convention for the hpijs client. I've just checked the following combination: - ghostscript-6.53-7 - ghostscript-fonts-5.50-3 - cups-drivers-hpijs-1.1-0.20020313.3 - hpijs-1.0.4-7 - foomatic-1.1-0.20020313.3 - Omni-foomatic-0.5.1-3 Setting up a HP OfficeJet G85 using the cdj550 driver works, but using the hpijs driver still doesn't work! Invoking plain gs, effectively bypassing lpr, as documented in /usr/share/doc/hpijs-1.0.4/hpijs_readme.html to print a postscript file directly to /dev/lp0 only results in ejecting an *empty* page :-( Indeed: it's 6.52 you want, not 6.53. The current ghostscript package is 6.52-8. And why is 6.53-7 included in the skipjack beta as of 0402.01 then? Because 6.52-7 was too late for it. |
