Does anyone have a driver for ghostscript for the Epson Stylus II color
inkjet printer?  Yes, I know that the "epsonc" driver works (but only in
resolutions up to 360x180) and the "escp2" driver works (but only in
monochrome at resolutions up to 360x360).

I'm looking for something that'll do 360x360 or 720x720 dpi mono and color.
I don't mind writing a driver, but don't want to if I can avoid it.

I've tried Ghostscript (Mac) and gotten no joy.  On my PowerMac 8100/80 under
sys 7.5.1 it's *very* unstable, too many crashes even to evaluate the software.
There is supposed to be a new Mac Ghostscript release coming out about now,
however.  

On the other hand, the technique of processing files through Adobe Distiller
and printing from Acrobat works quite well.  The color matching isn't 100%,
but everything prints, and at full device resolution.  

What is the "epsonnc" driver you mention?

If you get the source code and do a careful search, I believe you'll find
that there one is included with the distribution.  But, you have to
edit the makefiles to include the stylus driver explicitly.

So I'd have to recompile on the Mac?  Ain't got a C compiler online, I'm
afraid..  
 
 
 

1. Looking for GhostScript driver for Epson Color Stylus 680

Hi!

I have a problem setting up Epson Stylus 680 to work with
Ghostscript. I tried 'stcolor' device, without any extra options. It
prints correctly about 60% of the A4 page, and then simply stops. The
postscript file looks OK when loaded in Ghostview. I tried other
devices like 'st800' with the same result. 'uniprint' for some reason
did not work at all. I just added '-sDEVICE=uniprint' with no other
extras.

I use Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, Ghostscript is I think 5.1x. The printer
works OK with the supplied driver on Windows98.

Has anyone successfully setup this printer to work with Ghostscript? I
also have a problem when trying to print plain ASCII files to this
printer (both from Linux and Win98). The head moves a bit, some
whizzing sound is made but nothing is printed.

Thanks,
Milan
