Yeap, built-in.

Post #203,558 by folkert 4/16/05 1:08:53 AM Reply	Yeap, built-in. I just setup a PDF printer in CUPS. (a printer setup to convret things to PDF) I also have a PCL job I get, that is 4GB. I convert it to PS level 3, on the fly. It is PCL5 from and AS400. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]

Post #203,596 by broomberg 4/16/05 6:37:22 PM Reply	So far - so bad I've apt-get install cups-pdf - seemed to work. I've created a printer as per the web site. I've tried to test it via: broom@592[~]$ lp -d cups-pdf /etc/termcap request id is cups-pdf-12 (1 file(s)) broom@592[~]$ It produces files, names the same, off the user's home directory/cups-pdf. The root color postscript test worked fine, as did a straight text output. But then I send PCL formatted stuff, it is very unhappy. How do I tell it that it is dealing with PCL?

Mainly I have all of the docs in paper form (handwritten notes) at work. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]
