The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

cups filter to print pcl on hp 2600n printer

Asked by btomkins in Linux Printing, Ghostscript PDF Software

Tags: 2600n, cups, hp, pcl

I have spent 2 days trying to get a filter to work in cups that will automaticlly convert all jobs from pcl to ps using ghostpcl.

I have application on sco box that produces PCL output that wont print on hp 2600n. However when it is converted to ps it prints OK.

We have limited acccess to the sco box so we are using cups on a FC5 linux box to solve the problem.

This is what I have so far:
filter script to convert PCL file using ghostpcl

PCLtoPS
=======
#! /bin/bash
# see http://localhost:631/spm.html#WRITING_FILTERS
# debug info in /var/log/cups/error_log
set -x
pcl6 -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- -dNOPAUSE $6
========

I have a working prinit queue in cups using HP Color LaserJet 2600n Foomatic/foo2hp ppd.

filter refernce for cups

My problem is after trying all the combinations described I still am unable to trigger cups to use the filter.

Thanks
