I have a deskjet 890c which worked fine under gs 5.xx, but I recently moved the printer to a freebsd 4.8-stable machine with the current ghostscript (7.07). The raster files produced from this new gs specifying the deskjet cdj890 were not compatible with the printer. I sent email to the hp2200 author, and he acknowledges that they may not be compatible. >How-To-Repeat: cat simple.ps | \ gs -sDEVICE=cdj890 -sOutputFile=out.890 -dBATCH -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE cp out.890 /dev/lpt0 the output on the printer will be garbled text >Fix: The pcl3 driver does work for the deskjet 890. One must specify the subdevice of hpdj890 and the colormodel if you want color output. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
