Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am about to buy one of the current printers for home use, and would like to know if they will work by piping output through Ghostscript. I have version : Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10 (1997-11-23), with support for the following devices: Available devices: x11 x11alpha x11cmyk x11gray2 x11mono sxlcrt ap3250 appledmp bj10e bj200 bjc600 bjc800 ccr cdeskjet cdjcolor cdjmono cdj500 cdj550 cdj850 cp50 declj250 deskjet djet500 djet500c dnj650c epson eps9mid eps9high epsonc ibmpro imagen iwhi iwlo iwlq jetp3852 laserjet la50 la70 la75 la75plus lbp8 lips3 ln03 lj250 ljet2p ljet3 ljet3d ljet4 lj4dith ljetplus lj5mono lj5gray lp2563 lp8000 m8510 necp6 oce9050 oki182 okiibm paintjet pj pjetxl pjxl pjxl300 pxlmono pxlcolor r4081 sj48 st800 stcolor t4693d2 t4693d4 t4693d8 tek4696 uniprint xes dfaxhigh dfaxlow faxg3 faxg32d faxg4 tiffcrle tiffg3 tiffg32d tiffg4 epswrite pdfwrite pswrite bit bitrgb bitcmyk bmpmono bmp16 bmp256 bmp16m cgmmono cgm8 cgm24 cif jpeg jpeggray miff24 mgrmono mgrgray2 mgrgray4 mgrgray8 mgr4 mgr8 pcxmono pcxgray pcx16 pcx256 pcx24b pcxcmyk pbm pbmraw pgm pgmraw pgnm pgnmraw pnm pnmraw ppm ppmraw pkm pkmraw pngmono pnggray png16 png256 png16m psmono psgray sgirgb tiff12nc tiff24nc tifflzw tiffpack nullpage Will any of these work with an HP 695C, for example? I see from the Ghostscript FAQ that the Epson 400 and lexmark 1000 are "Windows only", and want to be sure I don't get such an abomination by mistake. Are there more up-to-date drivers for current printers that I can add? Is there a decsription of what each of these device codes means? -- Mike Jeays : System Development Division, Statistics Canada 14-O R. H.
