Hello Nikola,
Thanks for the warning in (1). It took so long to install that I would =
normally have thought something had gone wrong.
The actual path to SETUP was different, but after I found it everything =
worked well.
I tried a few of the HP drivers, but the one that finally worked was the =
deskjet driver (#160 in section 3) -- just for the record, my precise =
printer model is:
hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6 (60.41.41.0)
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Alex Beros
Please answer to the list.
The manual explains basic things only. You need a more sophisticated
filter for advanced tasks. Do the following:
(1) Install print/apsfilter. Please be careful about default page
format (A4 vs. Letter) since apsfilter will install several other
packages according to this. Apsfilter is not very big itself, but
has a lot of dependencies.
(2) Run /usr/local/share/apsfilter/SETUP. I'm not 100% sure what driver
you should choose on the main menu (hpijs is recommended for your
printer), but please try drivers from sections 3 and 4 of apsfilter
drivers list (concentrate on PCL support).
(3) Try various printing qualities, colour modes, and dpi settings in
order to make the best output of the test page.
Apsfilter will allow you to print all possible formats (incl. DVIs,
PDFs, images, HTML, Gimp's XCF and much more) using lpd directly.
