Hello,
I have an Origional IBM Personal Computer Graphics Printer. I know from
previous installations that the only way I found to get it to print
postscript was with the gs-esp ML-320 driver.
However, I've always used lprng since its seems like overkill to bring
in all of cups. On my last box, where I got it to work, I ended up with
foomatic-printfilters (which brings in a lot of the cups stuff) and used
the foomatic GUI to set it up with lprng.
Does anyone using lprng know of an easier/simpler way to get things
working?
My hesitation on cups is twofold: the large amount of downloading over
slow dialup; and I'm unclear on the politics of the openprinting.org
movement. The latter seems to be driven by one company.
If anyone would like an lprng set of scripts and info on how we deploy it on
our 300+ servers, I'd be glad to provide the scripts, base filters, etc...
(and the easiest way to deal with cups... by disabling it...)
And info on print servers that work on everything including Oki's.
(LanTronix works, HP's don't, NetGear's don't, DLink's used to but don't any
more...)
