SuSE Linux: Versions up to (including) 5.0
Ghostscript: Version 3.53, 4.01, 4.03
When printing with a Canon BJC 610 or 620 only garbled output appears. This happens despite
the fact that you've chosen the bjc600
driver.
The default printing mode of the Canon BJC 610 or 620 is not set to the grahics mode.
Here's a short description of the configuration of a Canon BJC 610 or 620 in order to use it with Ghostscript 3.53, 4.01 or 4.03 .
On
. In order to
do this, lift the printer cover and follow the description on the inside of the cover
or the description in the printer manual. In addition to this end of line should
be marked by Linefeed
instead of CarriageReturn+Linefeed
.

in YaST's printer configuration and set
the resolution to 360x360
DPI. A higher resolution is listed in the manual. However,
since the amount of ink for each ink injector of the print head isn't regulated, this leads
to extremely bold printing and thus isn't usable.
For the printing of scanned photos it is recommended to follow the description of the
Printing-HOWTO
(/usr/doc/howto/Printing-HOWTO.gz
, package
howto
) and to create a file gamma.ps
in order to correct for
too dark colors or a fraction of red in the colors that is too large.
%!PS % gamma.ps % transfer functions for % cyan magenta yellow black {0.225 exp} {0.165 exp} {0.213 exp} {0.165 exp} setcolortransferThe values can be adjusted according to your needs and the original photo. Printing of
file.ps
is possible with the command
gs -q -sDEVICE=bjc600 -r360x360 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dBitsPerPixel=32 -dNOPAUSE \ -sOutputFile='|lpr -Praw' gamma.ps file.ps -c quit(note the
'\'
at the end of the line).
When using transparencies or coated paper it is recommended to insert the option
-sMediaType=TransparencyFilm
after -dBitsPerPixel=32
(separated by a blank).
The above command can be used as a pattern for a shell alias or a simple shell script.
