Hi
Well, I had to reboot, but I got CUPS to find the printer. As a basic driver, I tried this:
#include <font.defs>
#include <media.defs>
#include <raster.defs>
#include <pcl.h>
DriverType pcl
ModelNumber ($PCL_PAPER_SIZE $PCL_RASTER_END_COLOR $PCL_RASTER_CRD $PCL_PJL $PCL_PJL_PCL3GUI)
Font *
Manufacturer "HP"
Version "1.0"
HWMargins 18 12 18 12
*MediaSize Letter
ColorModel Gray k chunky 3
*Resolution - 8 0 0 0 "600dpi/600 DPI"
*InputSlot 7 "Auto/Automatic Selection"
Throughput 28
ModelName "HP PhotoSmart Pro B8850"
PCFileName "hp-b8850-test.ppd"
I figured I would try this just to get something basic. When I try a test page, I get nothing. Is my color model line wrong? Should I add something to use PCL3GUI? I know it is basic, but I am just trying to understand the whole system and how the pieces work. If I could get a little thing that works, I could build from that. Thanks.
