 Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2005 2:15 pm Post subject: Strange HP ppd characters |
 |
|
Hi,
I have a HP LaserJet 1320n and have it installed with cups and the ppd file downloaded from Linuxprinting
But I found some characters issues I wish to present. I wish to fix them manually but wish to ask for an advice.
Here sections interested.
[A] = File available on the Internet as above mentioned
[B] = Current file in /usr/share/cups/model/HP_LaserJet_1320_Series.ppd (file that I saved from the Internet)

How should I fix them?
PS: Do you know how to configure properly ghostscript for this printer?
Thank you,

The datasheet you can get here shows that the HP LaserJet 1320n has a PostScript level 2 print engine. It can therfore accept raw postscript pages and render the image they describe onto the paper.
Ghostscript is not required.
Ghostscript is a PostScript renderer that runs in your PC and intended to convert Linux applications Postscript output to a raster image, for priters that do not understand PostScript. e.g. inkjets.
I'm not convinced that the two files you present as A and B are actually different. They are the PPD files rendered into text somehow, perhaps with different fonts. They could still be identical at the binary level.

Hello NeddySeagoon,
thank you for replying...

Is there a way to check this font difference so that I can exclude that this is a font issue?
When I look into the printer settings, I see those font errors, like: PrinterÃs
Please let me know.
Thank you,
Spiro |

SAngeli,,
You can try running | Code: | | diff <file1> <file2> |
and examining the files with which is a binary editor.

Hello NeddySeagoon,
I did run diff and this is the output I got:
| Code: | 7c7
< *HPEconoMode PrinterDefault/PrinterÃs Current Setting: ""
---
> *HPEconoMode PrinterDefault/Printer� Current Setting: "" |
| Code: | 14,19c14,19
< *HPwmTextAngle DegN15/Ã15<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -15 put"
< *HPwmTextAngle DegN30/Ã30<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -30 put"
< *HPwmTextAngle DegN45/Ã45<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -45 put"
< *HPwmTextAngle DegN60/Ã60<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -60 put"
< *HPwmTextAngle DegN75/Ã75<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -75 put"
< *HPwmTextAngle DegN90/Ã90<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -90 put"
---
> *HPwmTextAngle DegN15/�5<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -15 put"
> *HPwmTextAngle DegN30/�0<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -30 put"
> *HPwmTextAngle DegN45/�5<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -45 put"
> *HPwmTextAngle DegN60/�0<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -60 put"
> *HPwmTextAngle DegN75/�5<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -75 put"
> *HPwmTextAngle DegN90/�0<A1>: "userdict /HPwmAngle -90 put" |
So, as you can see there are differences.
Would it be ok for me to manually make those changes so that the current file be corrected manually by me?
thank you,
Spiro |

SAngeli,
Why not just swap files?
Makeing the changes won't be easy, those characters are not on your keyboard.
