Re: printing problems
Thanks for the Cups suggestion. I've now spent a little time evaluating
that pathway. It smells a little like bait and switch.
I have three printers - a 300 dpi HP LaserJet III, a 600 dpi HP LaserJet
4, and a 1200 dpi HP 8100 DN with duplexer. The later printer is used for
data sheets, manuals, and catalogs, printed on 11 by 17 sheets. All
printers accept PostScript. What I need to do is move PostScript files to
them . . . period.
What I don't need is something sitting between the document and the
printer that limits resolution to 600 dpi. Of course I can pony up a few
farthings and get support for 1200 dpi, but --- I originally managed to
get lprng working under RH, so I think I'll spend some more time trying to
get it working with Debian.
Yes, the interface is nice, but in my case it's like using a flame thrower
to make toast.
