Google for the DeviceModel parameter values if these don't work with a C65. You need to install ijsgimpprint, of course. At present, my etc/printcap file says: lp|C86:\ :lp=/dev/unlpt0:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :if=/home/mike/bin/C86-filter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd:\ :mx#0\ :sh: and my home-grown filter contains: #!/bin/sh TMP=/tmp/C86.tmp PS=/tmp/C86.ps cat >$TMP ch1=`head -1 $TMP | cut -c 1` if [ "$ch1" = '%' ] then # echo "Postscript" cat $TMP >$PS else # echo "Text" /usr/local/bin/enscript -B -q -p - $TMP >$PS fi # InkType=CMYK, RGB are valid cat $PS | /usr/local/bin/gs -sDEVICE=ijs \ -sIjsServer=/usr/local/bin/ijsgimpprint \ -sDeviceManufacturer=EPSON \ -sDeviceModel=escp2-c84 \ -sIjsParams=Quality=720x360sw,InkType=CMYK,MediaType=Plain \ -dIjsUseOutputFD \ -q \ -dNOPAUSE \ -dBATCH \ -sOutputFile=- - # MUST delete them, or subsequent jobs may have trouble rm -f $TMP,$PS This is not what you would call polished software - the minute I got it to work, I stopped fiddling with it. It does at least do the job.
