I am currently trying to print a PS file on my Canon BJ-200, and all it does
is sit there. Running gs -sDEVICE=bj200 -sOutputFile=/dev/lp1 file.ps does
not work either. Sending normal text files via lpr/lpd works fine.
I am running:
Linux kernel 2.0.20 (Slackware 3.0)
gcc-2.7.2p
Ghostview 1.5
Pentium 66MHz, 24MB, 2GB HD, 2MB S3Trio64
Black&White Canon BJ-200

Here's my postscript filter for the BJ-200:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gs/ -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=bj200 -r360x360 -sOutputFile=- -

I actually found the APS Magic print filter for Linux extremely easy to
setup and install - works like a dream. (Just beware of the README file -
it's apparently out of date) Didn't even burp when I upgraded to GS 4.01.
The Linux Printing HOWTO has the ftp location.

Hi, everyone.
I had the BJC4100 working with the Ghostview(2.?) along with
the GhostScript (4.?) working with the Windows, since it comes
with the executables. But I couldn't get the same thing working
on Linux. Even with the Windows version, I have to try all device
drivers for the Canon printer since there is no driver for BJC4100.
The one worked is for BJC600. Now, I have to switch the OS if
I need to print a PS file. My hope is that some one has already
seen the light.
Thanks.

Note that you will probably need *Aladin* GhostScript, as the GNU oneQuote:>Hi, everyone.

No, I don't know where it is (or I would have told you).

I just purchased a Canon BJ-200 printer for my computer and am having trouble
finding a printcap file for it. If there is anyone out there that may have
one or knows were to get one, I'd appreciate it. Also, if there are any other
files or filters or whatever that may make my printer run more efficently I'd
appreciate it if you'd let me know.
Thanks for your time in this matter.
