A new version of hpdj is now available. the modified port is available
in incoming as ghostscript-3.33.tar.gz
The NEW features are (quoted):
Version 2.4 (released 1998-04-27)
=================================
Starting with this version, hpdj is released under the terms of the GNU
Library General Public License (LGPL) instead of the GNU GPL.
* Extensions
- This version supports the Color Resolution Enhancement technology
(C-REt) feature of some HP series-800 DeskJets, at least as far as I've
been able to discover how this works without any documentation from HP.
See the description of the new options 'BlackLevels' and 'CMYLevels' in
the manual page.
- There is a new option, "PagecountFile", which can be used to keep
track of the number of pages printed. It is intended for spooler
backends.
- As an example of an input filter for a BSD spooler (lpr), I've added
a file 'if-hpdj' to the distribution. Read the comments in the file to
find out what it can do.
- I've extended the list of PCL media size codes known to hpdj by some
codes of interest to people with series-1100 DeskJets.
* Modifications
- The DJ 850C/855C/unspec margin information has been modified:
- The margins for the JIS B5 format were demonstrably wrong for the
DJ 850C and have been changed.
- I've removed the entry for US A2 envelopes because contrary to
what I believed previously this size is not supported.
* Documentation
- The FILES section in the manual page has been restructured and
extended as a CONFIGURATION section. In particular, for those not
familiar with PostScript, I've added much more on configuration with
PostScript commands.
* Compilation
- I have added a missing "#include <errno.h>" directive to hpdjprn.c.
- I have added an include directive for Aladdin's header "std.h" where
appropriate in order to avoid some name clashes with non-standard system
types like 'uint' on some operating systems (e.g., FreeBSD).
