Hello all,
I've compiled and installed the Cups cvs version from yesterday and
hpijs-1.4.1 . Also I've installed ESP Ghostscript 7.07 (gs --version
reports 7.07.1). Now I'm trying to setup my HP Deskjet500 and installed
a printer with the web admin interface of Cups, in which I choose "HP
Deskjet 500, Foomatic + hpijs (recommended) (en)" as the model.
As result of the testpage I only get artistic looking stripes, beginning
from the left, ending roughly in the middle of the paper.
But with:
gs -sOutputFile=/dev/lp0 -sDEVICE=djet500 /home/xxx/ls.ps
it prints a correct page. So ghostscript works in principle.
What's wrong?
Unfortunately www.linuxprinting.org is down this weekend. Is there
a
mirror available?
Thank you in advance!

Did you add:
include pstoraster/cups.mak
to the end of the ghostscript makefile before building? If it's not there your
problem is that cups can't use ghostscript to rasterize.

The ESP version of ghostscript is supposed to be prepatched for use with
cups. I installed it as rpm. It's description is:
"ESP Ghostscript is an enhanced version of GNU Ghostscript that includes
new printer drivers and support for the Common UNIX Printing System."
The amount and size of the stripes I get seem to correspond with the
file to print. I printed /etc/motd and got only a grey stripe of ~3cm on
top of the page, that gots thinner towards the end.
