Hello all,
I just configured my printer with
defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSLPRPrinters '{
lp={PPDPath="/usr/local/ppds/xr_8400DP.ppd"; Host=localhost;
Note="Xerox Phaser 8400DP"; Type="Xerox Phaser 8400DP"};}'
When I know open TextEdit.app I get a "Badly formatted hexadecimal
substring in PPD printer file" exception and TextEdit.app dies. I have
checked NSPrinter.m, it happens in
-(NSString*) interpretQuotedValue: (NSString*) qString
but I have no idea what could be wrong here. I don't really understand
what exactly this method is supposed to do. Any idea? I attached the
PPD file if anybody cares.
I would like to use this opportunity how exactly printing is supposed
to work under GNUstep. I have a print queue xerox that can be used rom
the command line with
lp -d xerox filname
The Xerox printer is a network printer reachable at 192.168.1.253. What
would be the correct setting for such a beast? I guess HOST shoul
dpoint to the IPAdresse of the print queue, right
defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSLPRPrinters '{
lp={PPDPath="/usr/local/ppds/xr_8400DP.ppd"; Host="192.168.1.253";
Note="Xerox Phaser 8400DP"; Type="Xerox Phaser 8400DP"};}'
Who is doing the PDF to PostScript conversion here if this shoul dbe
necessary? I have installed Vindaloo as a PDF viewer and just relaized
that this app cannot print!? What are you guys using for viewing and
printing PDFs?
Thanks a lot,
Andreas
