I add hpijs-1.4.1.ebuild http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21601 for hpijs-1.4.1 that includes foomatic-rip and HP PPD files, this now part of HPIJS. by probles do: emerge /remerge ghostscript and do /etc/init.d/cupsd restart Should hpijs ebuild only install foomatic support if net-print/foomatic is missing? i'll try to check this out soon I've installed hpijs 1.4.1 on both a cups client and server (1.1.18_r5 and 1.1.18_r4 respectively, both i386 arch). No problems, but my printing use is very light. Is there a test suite I could run? In CUPS http://localhost:631/printers is there a test page with a color wheel. You can also change the printing mode in Configure Printer. You print should say 'HP *, Foomatic + hpijs (recommended)' for using HPijs. Not HP* CUPS+gimp v x.xxx' then the driver is GIMP-print. The drivers on both client and server are indeed hpijs. The test pages print fine, as do web pages with color and graphics. Color gradations are smooth and color is rich. I was wondering if there were stress or compliance tests available ... my printing is very low volume and the server has 1.5Gb RAM, so my normal use would probably not show problems due to high volume or memory leaks. Also, ink is expensive so I don't want to try just random testing. I'll spend the ink, though, if there's a test suite that hits it where it might break. FWIW, client: $ uname -a Linux gilligan 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 #5 Sat May 24 16:25:41 EDT 2003 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU 1133MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux server: $ uname -a Linux skipper 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 #5 Sat May 17 18:42:48 EDT 2003 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Also, I don't know nearly as much about printing as I should, so I can't answer Lars' question (Comment #1 above) about foomatic support. Thanks all for help so far! hpijs 1.4.1 now in portage, so fixed |
