From: Poul-Henning Kamp Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2001 08:17:35 +0200 Message-ID: <6806.997424255@critter> Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The new ghostscript 6.51 has integrated the HPIJS backends for HP printers. HPIJS is written by HP and contains most of their weird colormunging technologies. I managed to compile a 6.51 yesterday and ran it on my HP1220C printer and I can only say "WOW!". I beats the pants of all the other HP/PCL/whatever backends in ghostscript. Highly recommended! -- 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.
