You want the HP developed hpijs driver. This is what I use for my HP 1220 printer, you may need to change the DeviceName: /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q \ -sDEVICE=DJ9xx \ -dPrintMode=1 -r300 \ -sOutputFile=- - | dd obs=64k 2>/dev/null && exit 0 The dd(1) trick is because it outputs ridiculous small write(2) requests and the USB path does no buffering. I think there is little reason for ultp(4) to not buffer aggressively. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
