NAME¶
ijsgutenprint - Ghostscript driver for Gutenprint
SYNOPSIS¶

vendor -sDeviceModel=
name [
-dIjsUseOutputFD ]
-sIjsParams=[
key1=
value1,
keyn=
valuen... ] [

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.5.2.
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.
