| | | | Anyone know of a way to printer image files (ie a Company Logo) to a
| | | | Standard HP Laserjet via ' lp ' ?
| | | | 
| | | | Do I need to convert the image (.jpg  in this case) to PCL for the
| | | | Printer?
| | | 
| | | Yes.
| | | 
| | | I just now opened a .jpeg with xv, saved it as postscript, then printed
| | | that using ghostscript.
| | 
| | I'm finally gonna get you for the excessive keystoke award.
| 
| OK, I'm caught out!
| 
| | I opened the file with xv, clicked on print, entered the name of the
| | printer that pipes the print job through gs.
| | 
| | # cat /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/gs
| | :
| | # @(#) gs
| | PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
| | gs -q -sDEVICE=laserjet -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- "$6" -c quit | lp -o raw -o -d laser1
| | exit 0
| 
| What's the second '-o' for?

The dreaded editing of a script before posting.  My script has -o lm9
because my standard paper is pre-punched with 3 holes.  I removed only
the lm9

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
