Get H-P psc 1200 printer running with PDQ in 2.02

[menno]

Maybe not so interesting , but a lot trial and error , I got my psc1210 running in puppy 1.0.9 and 2.0.2 . I realised that Gostscript uses ijsgimpprint which convert for epson and other also most of the PCL printers . The psc printer are bitscan printer and they need hpijs as converter program . I load hpijs_2.1.10 (deb) version crypt out of it the /bin/hpijs .
You also need libstdc++.so.6.0.3 (link naar libstdc++.so.6) ,libnetsnmp.so.9.0.0 (link naar libnetsnmp.so.9) . Beside of that you have to modprobe a usbprinter driver (2.0.2 usblp , I have in 1.0.9 a printer) . Than try in rxvt following :
gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -dIjsUseOutputFD \ -sDeviceManufacturer="HEWLETT-PACKARD" -sDeviceModel="psc 1200" \
-dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sOutputFile=/dev/usb/lp0 /usr/share/ps-pdf/colorcir.ps
If it prints then oke , otherwise it will tel you if there are missing or incorrect version of lib's .
Scaling and all the other things are mostly done by hpijs , the -sDeviceModel should be a name hpijs knows (see hpijs_readme.html on internet) .
If this all work try to tell PDQ how to use it , created a printer with some pcl 5/6 code driver.
Then change the driver file (at the end ) is the call to GS and modify -sIjsServer and -sDeviceModel .
I hope this helps and maybe somebody can update the printerwizzerd so the HP printer can be accessed .

Yea , I need to figure out how to get my HPC HP 1315 All-In-One printer to work , It currently isn't supported in the list...

How about the HP linux toolbox and hpijs driver ..? , Can those be installed in puppy..?

The psc 1315 belongs to the class psc 1310 series .
-sDeviceModel="psc 1310" should work . Otherwise try "psc 1310 series" .
For the link you give , you need to instal "CUPS" that includes hpijs .
