NAME
ijsgutenprint - Ghostscript driver for Gutenprint
SYNOPSIS
gs -sDEVICE=ijs
-sIjsServer=/usr/bin/ijsgutenprint
-sDeviceManufacturer=vendor -sDeviceModel=name [
-dIjsUseOutputFD ] -sIjsParams=[
key1=value1,keyn=valuen... ] [
options ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
ijsgutenprint provides Ghostscript with a Gutenprint
driver, supporting all printers supported by libgutenprint.
NOTE: ijsgutenprint should never be called directly.
Ghostscript will run it if the IjsServer parameter is set to
IjsServer=ijsgutenprint when invoking the IJS driver.
NOTE: The only supported method of running
ijsgutenprint is via Foomatic. Users running ghostscript directly
will not be supported. The driver name used by Foomatic is
gutenprint-ijs.5.0.
OPTIONS
ijsgutenprint accepts the following
Ghostscript IJS options. The Gutenprint-specific options are not
documented here.
- -dIjsUseOutputFD
- This option should be specified whenever output from
Ghostscript will go to stdout or into a pipe. It may be specified
in all other cases, with only a slight performance degradation.
-
-sIjsParams=Option1=Value1,Option2=Value2
- This parameter contains a single string containing a
comma-separated list of sub-options.
- -sDeviceManufacturer=vendor
-sDeviceModel=name
- This option must be supplied. There is no default. The IJS
driver requires the vendor (it's part of the protocol), but
the ijsgutenprint driver ignores it.
HISTORY
The Ghostscript stp driver was originally
written by Henryk Richter (buggs@comlab.uni-rostock.de),
and was integrated into Gutenprint during the 3.1 development
series. Gutenprint (which was named Gimp-Print prior to release
5.0) itself was originally written by Michael Sweet <mike@easysw.com>, who released up
to version 2.0; Robert Krawitz released version 3.0. The Gutenprint
development team (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net)
now maintains the entire package.
The IJS driver was originally written by Russell Lang, and
incorporated into Gutenprint (known then as Gimp-Print) in early
2002. This driver corresponds with the IJS protocol 0.32.
The stp driver is no longer supported as of Gutenprint
5.0.
