Quite difficult in view of the multitude of available ghostscript drivers for the different
DeskJet printers ;-)
.
Please take a look in the CDB (Component Database), and see if a special driver is recommended for your model: http://www.suse.de/cdb/english/; If no driver is recommended, then the following instructions should help:
First you should try the hpdj
driver which is included in the
ghostscript package that comes along with your »SuSE Linux«-Distribution.
Configure apsfilter
for this driver as usual: Start YaST
and select "System Administration
", "Integrate hardware into system
",
"Configure printers
" and fill out the screen.
Please take a look at the man page for gs-hpdj
and the file
/usr/share/ghostscript/<VERSION>/doc/hpdj/gs-hpdj.txt
,
for a more detailed description of the configuration (where
"<VERSION>
" should be substituted with the version of Ghostscript, ie
"5.10").
Up to date information on this driver may be found under ftp://ftp.pdb.sni.de/pub/utilities/misc/hpdj.html
For the difference between mono
and color
, the
file /etc/apsfilterrc.hpdj
should contain the following
precaution:
if [ "$COLOR" = "mono" ]; then GS_FEATURES="-sModel=unspec -sColourMode=mono -sPrintQuality=draft" else GS_FEATURES="-sModel=unspec -sColourMode=CMYK -sPrintQuality=normal" fi
Make sure to verify (from the Manpage - see the section titled "Colour
Modes") that the selected color mode (in
this case "CMYK
") is correct for your printer!
