I have an HP LaserJet 1100 on my FreeBSD box. It works semi-ok. Every now
and then it really seems to screw up, printing bogus characters or
mis-aligned output. Sometimes it skips a blank page in such cases and
manages to get back on track. If I am trying to print double-sided (odd
side first, then even side on same paper) this really messes things up.
My /usr/local/libexec/lpfilter is right out of the handbook, except that I
am using DEVICE=ljet4 instead of DEVICE=djet500:
read first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ]; then
exec 3>&1 1>&2
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=ljet4 \
-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3 - \
&& exit 0
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=ljet4 \
-sOutputFile=- - \
&& exit 0
else ...
I confess I don't know why the handbook recommends what look like redundent
calls to gs. Can anyone help me with this? Perhaps show me what your
lpfilter looks like for the HP LaserJet 1100?
Thanks!
