Feb 2013- starting at post 231, Terminills is working on getting glutenprint working on AROS & then hopefully on OS3.x & OS4.X. So far I've got text AND graphics printing out on my DOT4 printer & I've never got this far with either AmigaOS4.1 or AROS before

If you can help out just chime in

@ rwo

mate we can use you here again

qnd ixemul version of gutenprint will be released for testing this weekend

Aros68k, 3.1 and 4.0 all seem to be able to run the ixemul version fine.

Trying to figure out why there is a crash on exit. Might have to drop the ixemul version and just work on finishing removing dependencies(waiting for more tests tho.).

DSI is fixed ;D

And now ghostscript is attempting to communicate with gutenprint. :)

Please test this:

It should work with all HP printers, Dot4 or otherwise.

Set your printer's serial number as follows:
setenv SAVE hpmud/0 00ABCD012345

The serial number can be obtained from USBInspector (and various other places)

Print a file using this syntax:
dot4print <filename>

The file can be a plain text file, or something processed by printer.device and written to a file (using printtofile.device)

There's also a mode parameter if you don't want normal Dot4 mode, see readme for details.

I have to power cycle my printer after every print, not sure what that is about yet.

I get my borrowed Sam next week so I will see about getting gutenprint to the point I'm at on AROS as soon as I get it setup.

after I confirm it working I will be posting an AOS4 archive for testing. :)

OK, thanks. Unfortunately that means it doesn't give us automatic Dot4 support, although the fact AROS' usbparallel.device works might mean a port of that could provide it (but I have no idea how compatible - if at all - AROS' USB stack is with OS4's)

It's just poseidon you may be able to try the version from AROS 68K to see if you even need to port it persay.

So I decided to implement a stand alone prefs system for gutenprint because at least on AROS the standard prefs don't have everything I need.

I'm not using any AROS only functions in it so it should be a simple compile to the other platforms. :)

edit this is far from the final design.

If this is interfacing directly with USB (which it sounds like it is, if Dot4 is working), how are you achieving that? I think if you make it compatible with ANAIIS when you port it over to OS3.1 then it should automatically work on OS4.

actually in the case of the testprint I'm using the AROS copytopar program with the USB flag which uses usbparallel.device instead of parallel.device. The current state I'm at is proving that the drivers are creating the correct output for the printers.

in cass' case it seems the hp-lj_1015 should work.

However once it's complete it will be a matter of selecting Gutenprint just like you would in any other printer driver. I chose to go the ijs route because I could keep my driver(which in this case will be the ijs client) pretty generic. This way when I port the hplip drivers I can reuse most of the code.

guys, things are shaping up nicely for terminillis and his AROS driver (gutenprint from Linux)over over at AW & aros-exec. I just now was able to print text & graphics for the 1st time on either AmigaOS4.x or Aros via USB on my HP LaserJet 1012 (DOT4) printer with his new driver on my netbook running AspireOS!

gutenprint AW thread

As I've said elsewhere I'm trying to make gutenprint available on all of the Amigaoid platforms. once I make sure it doesn't use the arosc.library(I may have to make a few changes) I will test the 68k version on AOS 3.1. If it runs on 3.1 there is a good chance it will run on AOS4.

As of right now I've confirmed the Canon and PCL drivers are working.
