Is HP Deskjet 712C a WinPrinter?

Post by nept.. » Mon, 02 Nov 1998 04:00:00



Hello,
   Does anyone know if the HP 712C is a WinPrinter? I would like
to buy a color printer usable with 'xv', but I don't want to
make the mistake of purchasing a Windows-only printer. I would
appreciate any advice you could share with me.

Yes. it is.. but Tim Norman has written a driver for the "PPA" HP
printers.
The 710/712 are new entries to this classification.

1. Slackware 8.1, HP Deskjet 712C, and pnm2ppa-1.10pre5

OS: Slackware 8.1
Kernel: 2.4.18
Printer: HP Deskjet 712C

I installed pnm2ppa to try to get my printer working with lpd(Not
CUPS), I installed the driver fine. When I use the "test_ppa" script
included with the driver, it prints pages fine. But when I try to
print any other way, nothing seems to happen.

/etc/printcap

ppa|lp:\
        :lp=/dev/lp0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/ppa:\
        :lf=/var/spool/lpd/ppa/log:\
        :af=/var/spool/lpd/ppa/acct:\
        :if=/usr/local/bin/ppa.if:\
        :la:mx#0:

/etc/pnm2ppa.conf

I have the line "version 712" uncommented

the script I use to try to print(in one of the pnm2ppa doc files) is:

#!/bin/sh
cat $1 | \
gs -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sPAPERSIZE=letter -q -dNOPAUSE -r600
-sOutputFile=- - | \
pnm2ppa $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 -i - -o - | lpr -l

anyone that has had any luck with this, please help me out here. i'm
lost
