ufoomatic ppd filters with CUPSForum: Apps Topic: ufoomatic ppd filters with CUPS started by: dtf Posted by dtf on Mar. 20 2006,01:38
I have installed the CUPS dsl and have it working with my printer (HP Deskjet 5740) as both a local and network printer. However I am using a ppd filter that is not designed for this particular printer. This actually works fairly well but there is a noticable difference when printing graphics. I did find the correct ppd file on the web but it works with foomatic-rip and another perl script. I have attempted to install the scipts following the instruction provided but still cannot get the ppd filter working. I am not a perl programmer but understand enough to try and set the debug flag in the script. However, this did not produce the expected log file.I am wondering if anyone has experience with foomatic ppd files and if there there is some piece I am missing or I have not configured correctly. Thanks. |
