NAME
ijsgutenprint - Ghostscript driver for Gutenprint
SYNOPSIS
gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=/usr/local/bin/ijsgutenprint
-sDeviceManufacturer=vendor -sDeviceModel=name [ -dIjsUseOutputFD ]
-sIjsParams=[ key1=value1,keyn=valuen... ] [ options ] [ files ]
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.
