[Stuff about printing in Mandrake]
I've got an Epson Stylus Colour 850 and a Stylus Photo 870 working under
RedHat 6.1. Basically I hacked together and built a rpm of ghostscript
with the STP driver (from http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net). Then I
modified printerdb and used printtool to configure the lpd spools. You'll
need to put in extra gs options like:
-sModel='escp2-870' -sQuality='720 DPI High Quality' \
-sInkType='Six Color Photo' -sMediaType='Plain Paper
> Can you show how you modified /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printerfilters/printerdb?
It's just a text file, so you add in entries like:
StartEntry: STP driver
GSDriver: stp
Description: {STP driver}
About: { \
STP driver.\
}
Resolution: {360} {360} {}
Resolution: {720} {720} {}
EndEntry
I can mail anyone the source rpms of my modified ghostscript-6.50 if they
need it. Gimp-print includes instructions for using CUPS as well...
You can also get rpms from
http://space.tin.it/computer/livbe/linux/stp_driver/gs_stp.htm
For the 680, you'll need at least gimp-print 4.1 (I used 4.0.4). I could
put together a source rpm for this version...
