I've got the new aladdin ghostscript 5.50 (1998-9-16)
and some say that the bjc-150 and 250 printers can be used with it.
(i've got a bjc-150, and a friend of mine a bjc-250)
All i get is blank pages ...
Lpd seems to be ok. I use the new printtool from redhat 5.2 on my redhat
5.1 linux
(the old one did not work either)
Thanks in advance !

To find out what printers your Ghostscript can drive, run gs in a
shell window and type
devicenames ==
at the GS> prompt. I think I have a bjc600 or something.
The command to read postscript and write the printer was
echo quit | gs -sDEVICE=bjc600 -sOutputFile=/dev/lp1 -dNOPAUSE printthis.ps > /tmp/gslog 2>&1
If we ever hear from Red Hat we'll do it right, meanwhile printtool
is a waste of time.
Next, we wanted point and click printing to work in Netscape, Star Office,
and Wordperfect. Wordperfect seems to have "lpr -Plp" hardcoded
as its print spooler. So I moved /usr/bin/lpr out of the way and put
a script in its place with the above command. If the first arg is -Plp
it shifts it away, which makes Wordperfect happy.

i just configured the new printtool from redhat 5.2 with BJC600, suppress
headers, color depth 8 floyd-steinberg, send EOF
it works fine !

gs -dQUIET -sOutputFile=\|lpr -
in profile I put this
GS_DEVICE=bjc600
export GS_DEVICE
if you don't do that put the GS_xxx def on the same line
This works well for text. As for color it works like shit
for pictures. For simple few color printout it's ok. It seems
to soak the page with ink with stupid results.
