GUTENPRINT 5.2.8 DRIVERS

Thanks again to both of you for all of the help. The only caveat is that you need to give me Bone Head directions as I am obviously not a programmer or technician. If there are any tests I can run for you I would be delighted to do that and send you the results. Per Matt's testing, I believe that all of the print lines are being sent to the printer, hence with 36' paper, a 24'wide job will run out to 53' instead of only 35' when the 24' paper is loaded. All of these attempts were tried using both 5.0.0 and 5.2.6 and with Dither Algorithm set to 'Very Fast'. printer-driver-gutenprint 5.2.8pre1-0ubuntu2.1 amd64 printer-driver-hpcups 3.12.2-1ubuntu3.4 amd64 printer-driver-hpijs 3.12.2-1ubuntu3.4 amd64 printer-driver-min12xxw 0.0.9-6ubuntu1 amd64 printer-driver-pnm2ppa 1.13+nondbs-0ubuntu1 amd64 printer-driver-ptouch 1.3-3ubuntu0.1 amd64 printer-driver-pxljr 1.3+repack0-2 amd64 printer-driver-sag-gdi. Likewise if I tell it a paper dimension of 36' x 60' and I have 24' paper loaded, it prints to 35' plus a 1' margin. If I have 36' paper and tell the print job the paper dimension is 24' x 60' it stops printing at 53' and leaves a 1' margin, total length 54'. The length limitation of 36' with 24'wide paper, and 54' with 36' paper is being triggered by which width of paper is loaded. Matt and Robert, A long and frustrating week end of trying every iteration I could think of, to no avail. However, pseudo printing is not real world printing.

It would tend to show that our drivers are working as expected. Tom, the above paragraph is probably meant more for rlk. Extrapolating that for a 120 inch page would mean about 660 lines per page, so it looks consistent. For comparison, I printed a legal page from BBEdit to my HP DeskJet 870. The CUPS error_log looked fine and had the proper media dimensions being passed. When I did a print to file and then used the pcl-unprint, I was also seeing 708 lines per page. The PDFs showed that it printed 708 lines per page and Preview showed the correct paper size. My print jobs have been from BBEdit (a text editor) where I was able to have it print line numbers as a guide.

It would also be a good idea to do a reboot after you install a lesser version of the drivers.Īlso, I have been trying some print to file and Print to PDF experiments with a custom page size of 24 x 120 inches. OS X does not downgrade packages very well. Be sure to run the Uninstaller from the 5.2.6 disk image before you install an earlier version. In light of rlk's suggestion, you might want to try the Gutenprint 5.0.0 drivers. The version of Gutenprint that was included with 10.4 was 5.0.0-beta2. Tom also sent me a direct e-mail in which he stated that he thought the previous version might have been 10.4.x.
