To do postscript you use the two commands:
ps.select ; chooses the ps type output device
ps.map ; creates a ps output file which must then be sent to the printer
; with lp/lpr
ps.select choose from available devices in $GISBASE/etc/paint/ps.devices. The
devices located here desribe page size, margins, resolution.
I.E. Put the lines below in a file called: $GISBASE/etc/paint/ps.devices/hpxl30
0
and you will have a ps.device called: hpxl300 for 8.5x11 output.
level: 2
page width: 8.5
page height: 11.0
top margin: 0.5
bottom margin: 0.5
left margin: 0.25
right margin: 0.25
resolution: 300
Hi netters,
There is a Hewlett Packard Paintjet XL300 Postscript Printer already
installed in our department.
How can I install it to GRASS so that I can use all the ps. and p.
commands.?As far as I know there are only 3 printer drivers available
(according to the g.help/printing maps/supported printers):
a)Tektronix 4696, 4 color inkjet
b)Shinko CHC-635 color ribbon
c)Epson LQ-2500On the other hand in the directory
source/src/paint/Drivers I found directories such as:
diablo.c150
zerox4020
tek 4695
tek 4697 ...etcI guess that these directories are also drivers for the respective
printers.
Does this mean that we need a specific driver for the HP Paintjet
XL300?
What do we have to do ?
Can any of the supported printers emulate the above HP?
Thanks in advance for your helpGiorgos Zacharioudakis
