NAME
GSinterface - LP interface script for using ghostscript under lpsched
SYNOPSIS
GSinterface [request-id] [user] [title] [copies] [options] [files]
DESCRIPTION
This shell script is intended to be uses as an LP interface script on
Solaris 2.6 and later systems. It allows print queues to be configured
under LP using Ghostscript to render for the printer.
Configuration under lpsched is performed via the lpadmin(1M) command.
# lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/... -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown \
-i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface \
-o GS_DEVICE=(gs-device-type) \
[-o OutputFile=(file/device)] [-o PAPERSIZE=(size)] \
[-o RESOLUTION=XxY] [-o banner-type=(ascii|postscript)] \
[-o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=... -sIjsParams=..."]
Valid values for the GS_DEVICE setting can be obtained from Ghostscript
by running: "gs -h". This will dump a variety of information about
Ghostscript's usage and compile time configuration. The "Available
devices:" section lists the formats that Ghostscript will render to.
You will need to match one of these formats to the format that your
printer takes as input.
EXAMPLES
To configure a Canon Bublejet 800c (NeWSprinter CL+) printer connected
to an ECP parallel port:
# lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/ecpp0 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown \
-i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface \
-o GS_DEVICE=bjc800
# accept printer
# enable printer
To configure an HP DeskJet 990 printer connected via a USB interface
using IJS support:
# lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/usb/lp1 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown \
-i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface \
-o GS_DEVICE=ijs \
-o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=hpijs -sDeviceManufacturer=HEWLETT-PACKARD -sDeviceModel='DESKJET 990' -DIjsUseOutputFD"
# accept printer
# enable printer
