Re: printer help
Just had a quick look of the stylus_color_720dpi-filter.
The first couple of lines look like:
# PostScript
0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=stcolor -r720 -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dSpotSize='{2.6 2.4 2.6 2}' -sOutputFile=- -
0 \004%! filter /usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=stcolor -r720 -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dSpotSize='{2.6 2.4 2.6 2}' -sOutputFile=- -
# PDF
0 %PDF fpipe /usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=stcolor -r720 -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dSpotSize='{2.6 2.4 2.6 2}' -sOutputFile=- $FILE
# TeX DVI
0 \367\002 fpipe /usr/bin/dvips -D 720 -R -q -f
now, copy this file to stylus_color_740dpi-filter and change all the 720 values to 740.
Then update your printcap to points to this modified filter.
Restart lpd by running /etc/init.d/lpd restart or /etc/init.d/lprng restart depends which printing package
you got, then it should work..
