NAME

6       ijsgutenprint - Ghostscript driver for Gutenprint
7

SYNOPSIS

9       gs   -sDEVICE=ijs  -sIjsServer=/usr/bin/ijsgutenprint  -sDeviceManufac‐
10       turer=vendor  -sDeviceModel=name  [  -dIjsUseOutputFD  ]  -sIjsParams=[
11       key1=value1,keyn=valuen... ] [ options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

14       ijsgutenprint provides Ghostscript with a Gutenprint driver, supporting
15       all printers supported by libgutenprint.
16
17       NOTE: ijsgutenprint should never be called directly.  Ghostscript  will
18       run  it  if  the  IjsServer parameter is set to IjsServer=ijsgutenprint
19       when invoking the IJS driver.
20
21       NOTE: The  only  supported  method  of  running  ijsgutenprint  is  via
22       Foomatic.   Users  running  ghostscript directly will not be supported.
23       The driver name used by Foomatic is gutenprint-ijs.5.2.
24

OPTIONS

26       ijsgutenprint accepts  the  following  Ghostscript  IJS  options.   The
27       Gutenprint-specific options are not documented here.
28
29       -dIjsUseOutputFD
30              This option should be specified whenever output from Ghostscript
31              will go to stdout or into a pipe.  It may be  specified  in  all
32              other cases, with only a slight performance degradation.
33
34       -sIjsParams=Option1=Value1,Option2=Value2
35              This parameter contains a single string containing a comma-sepa‐
36              rated list of sub-options.
37
38       -sDeviceManufacturer=vendor -sDeviceModel=name
39              This option must be supplied.  There is  no  default.   The  IJS
40              driver  requires the vendor (it's part of the protocol), but the
41              ijsgutenprint driver ignores it.

HISTORY

44       The Ghostscript stp driver was originally  written  by  Henryk  Richter
45       (buggs@comlab.uni-rostock.de),  and was integrated into Gutenprint dur‐
46       ing the 3.1 development series.  Gutenprint (which was named Gimp-Print
47       prior  to  release  5.0) itself was originally written by Michael Sweet
48       <mike@easysw.com>, who released  up  to  version  2.0;  Robert  Krawitz
49       released    version    3.0.     The    Gutenprint    development   team
50       (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net) now maintains the entire package.
51
52       The IJS driver was originally written by Russell Lang, and incorporated
53       into  Gutenprint (known then as Gimp-Print) in early 2002.  This driver
54       corresponds with the IJS protocol 0.32.
55
56       The stp driver is no longer supported as of Gutenprint 5.0.
