Given the following from /usr/doc/hpijs-1.5 in slackware 9.1, when I try
to setup the printer in apsfilter I can't find anything close.

gs -h maks no reference to anything close. I am discussing this with the
apsfilter.org help ppl, but just want to make sure there is not something
goofy in slackware 9.1. The below quote references Foomatic/CUPS. How
was hpijs ./configure'ed?


rom /usr/doc/hpijs-1.5:
<# HPIJS 1.4 - This
release has the following changes.

1. Added the following new printer support.

PSC 1100 Series
PSC 1200 Series
Officejet 5100 Series
Officejet 6100 Series
Officejet 7100 Series
Photosmart 7345
LaserJet 1150
Business InkJet 3000
Deskjet 9300

2. Added 4096 byte output buffering to improve USB performance. 3.
Enabled data compression for DJ3320. Last release was not enabled. 4.
Updated DJ3320 colormap for Normal and Draft. 5. Updated DJ9xx colormap
and break point table for Normal and Best. 6. Model support is now done
by printerfactory and printerproxy. 7. Fixed a Deskjet 5550 problem
with odd page duplex jobs. 8. Documented new Photo mode for VIP
printers with no auto media detection. 9. Package now includes all
Footmatic 3.0 PPD files for HPIJS.
10. Turns out DJGenericVIP printers only supports full bleed with
Oufuku-Hagaki or smaller.
Code was changed to reflect this.

HPIJS installation "make install" now supports Foomatic and CUPS by
default. Use "./configure" options "foomatic-install" and "cups-install"
to disable this feature.

Special thanks to Till Kamppeter for his support with the Foomatic project
at www.linuxprinting.org. His tireless endeavor has consistently improved
the printing process.

Leaving a google beacon.....
It seems slackware is OK. I installed hpoj-0.91 and ran ptal-init setup
plus someone from apsfilter pointed out this file:

file:///usr/doc/hpijs-1.5/hpijs_readme.html#Command

where I discovered
<
7.2 Ghostscript Example

Here is a Ghostscript example using our driver on a 990C deskjet from the
command line. This command bye passes the spooler and prints directly to
the printer. You must be logged in as root in order direct the output
directly to /dev/lp0.

$ gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -dIjsUseOutputFD
-sDeviceManufacturer="HEWLETT-PACKARD" \
-sDeviceModel="DESKJET 990" -r300 -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER
-sOutputFile="/dev/lp0" file.ps -c quit

Here is what I tried(unwrapped, sorry):
bash-2.05b# gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -dIjsUseOutputFD -sDeviceManufacturer="HEWLETT-PACKARD" -sDeviceModel="psc 1200 series" -r300 -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sOutputFile="/dev/usb/lp0" /usr/share/apsfilter/setup/test.ps -c quit

I got an excellent printout of the famous apsfilter test page! Now,
on to convincing apsfilter to handle this.
