Installation of Ghostscript in order to print to non-Postscript printers

Hi,
As I understand Ghostscript can read a PostScript or PDF file and convert them into a form you can print on a non-PostScript printer.
As a reason what we have no postscript printers , I want to use Ghostscript for printing reports into OA 11i on printers without postscript drivers.
I will appreciate for any suggest and help for better understanding of how to install Ghostscript and usage/practice with it.
Regards

Would Archive and Install be the best option, then?

  • Transparency printing on non-PostScript device

    In InDesign CS6, a psd with transparent background prints correctly on a non-PostScript device when placed over another PSD file but when placed over a solid filled rectangle prints within a whte box.
    Why does this occur and is there a way to make it print with correct transparency?

    Can't really give you a "why", except that non-postscript printers don't always render postscript output correctly.

  • Printing Postscript to non Postscript Printers from QuarkXPress

    QuarkXPress (6.5) had previously been able to print to the Gimp Print driver and you were able to specify a postscript PPD. GhostscriptESP would then handle the RIPing of the file to any supported non postscript printer. This would include pulling in the high resolution data for placed Photoshop and Illustrator EPS files
    This scenario was true if using Mac OS X 10.3 (which includes the Gimp Print Drivers and Ghostscript) or if you installed Gimp and Ghostscript yourself in Mac OS X 10.2.
    Tiger seems to have changed all of this. No PPDs are accessible in the Quark Print dialogue when you have the Gimp printer driver selected.
    The problem seems to be associated with Quark as you can drop an eps file into the Gimp print queue and it will RIP and print it perfectly.
    There was a suggestion to reinstall the full Ghostscript which had no effect.
    One solution I have found is to use the Printfab printer drivers from <http://www.printfab.net/>. These work perfectly but cost between €50 and €90 after the 30 day trial. I am not keen on paying that amount for something that worked perfectly well before.

    Thanks! I've finally worked out why the print dialogues were all greyed out. Hopefully Gutenprint will update and sort it out.

  • Print to non postscript printer

    can i print from adobe illustrator cs 6 to a non postscript printer?

    Thanks gentlemen!
    I just move to Singapore from the US. In the US I have always had Postscript enabled printers either in the printer or via driver.
    The big brands [Epson, HP, Canon] don't sell the same printers models here and finding a Postscript enabled printer is like finding a needle in a digital haystack.
    Also the people that work for those companies locally, don't even seem to know the capabilties of their own devices.
    They only know what they can read off the box.

  • 9.2 / Printing to non-supported printers

    Hey guys...
    I've started using my iBook G3 (os 9.2.2) to type papers in Appleworks 5. (Not as many distractions!) But I have encountered a problem, my printer is not supported by OS 9 and to my knowledge, no OS 9 drivers exist for it.
    It is a Canon Pixma MP150.. and connected via. USB connection. I read somewhere you can make it into a postscript printer or such and print, but I'm not 100% sure on how to set that up.
    Thanks!

    If you have another Mac OS X Mac that does have the driver, plug the Printer in there and Share it via
    System Preferences > Sharing > Printer Sharing.
    Note the IP Address of the Mac that has the Printer (Over the long term, you may want to assign a Manual IP Address to that Mac if it changes too often.) You will also need the Queue Name.
    On the OS 9 Mac on the same network, use Desktop Printer Utility to create a DeskTop Printer that uses Generic Postscript and IP Printing and enter the IP Address of the Mac holding the Shared Printer and the Queue name.
    To print, use the Chooser to Choose that Desktop Printer and use Generic Postscript.
    HT2974- Mac OS X: Sharing a printer with Mac OS 9 computers
    The example in this article uses 127.0.0.1 IP Address without explanation. That is the "loop back to yourself" IP address that would allow you to do this same trick on one Mac using Classic, and passing the print data off to Mac OS X from Classic.

  • Can I print on non-USB printers connected to Ethernet hub?

    I just connected an Airport Extreme base station to my DSL modem and pre-existing ethernet hub. (The old hub connects my old G4 running OS 9.2 to an HP 5MP laser printer and a Canon Pixma IP 4000.) Then I booted my brand new MacBook 13 and established Internet connectvity through the base station. My question is, should I expect the Airport Extreme base station to also recognize the existence of the two printer attached to my old ethernet hub? Or does the Mac Book have access only to printers that are wired to the base station?
    Any advice appreciated.

    Airport Extreme has a WAN port (should be connected to DSL), and a LAN port - that's where you should connect the hub. Then your network will be mostly like it was before and the printers will be recognized.

  • Printing with non-postscript printer

    If it's a postscript issue, you can try exporting as a PDF
    first and then
    print that.
    Otherwise, perhaps your images are just low resolution?

  • Non postscript printer color difference

    i am trying to understand when the colors i use in Illustrator or CorelPainter IX print differently than what is on the monitor - I just did a handpainted project in Painter - I scanned in the sketch to Illustrator and hand sketched over it to Illustrator - I then brought it into Painter to color - I dropped all of the layers and placed it into Illustrator to finish it - when it printed it gave me the message of colors will be different when i print on a non postscript printer - i don't remember ever getting this error before - i was going out to kuler to get colors and "making" them in painter by using the rgb values - after all this work it printed different in both Illustrator and PS - any help or tutorials on colors, printing, and non postscript printers would be helpful - i am also going to call my printer's customer service dept to help me out on this - thanx in advance O_O

    If your Illustrator document color mode is CMYK, you must print to a PostScript device to ensure accurate color. That can be a printer with native PostScript firmware or something like a typical inkjet printer (an RGB device, CMYK inks notwithstanding) operating via (usually) optional PostScript RIP software.
    A non-PostScript printer expects RGB data. When you print a CMYK document on such a device, a color space conversion must occur somewhere. That conversion is out of your control; hence, the unpredictable color.
    You have several choices:
    1. If your output is to your non-PS printer and
    only that printer, work in RGB mode in Illustrator. You will then have the full range of color management options available to you.
    2. If you must work in CMYK (because you are ultimately going to press) and you wish to do local proofing, buy a PostScript printer or, at least, a third-party PostScript RIP for your existing printer, if available.
    3. You can use the "poor man's proofing" method: Assuming you have Acrobat,
    print (not
    save, not
    export) to PDF using settings that convert to sRGB (e.g., for screen viewing). You can then print the document on your non-PS printer from Acrobat (or AI) using RGB color management. It's not the same as #2 above, but your colors should be reasonably accurate. This works because the Acrobat Distiller engine is, in fact, a PostScript RIP.

  • Changing the order for printing portfolio files in adobe acrobat 9 pro

    Does anyone know how to change the order for printing pdf files that are part of a portfolio in adobe acrobat 9 pro?  The documentation seems to say that it prints files alphabetically by filename rather than by the internal sort order.  This won't work for me. Any ideas? Thanks.

  • IPhoto Upgrade iBook G4 so can continue to order books & prints?

    Hi,
    Trying to determine the lowest v iPhoto upgrade for continued ability to order books and prints...would that be the iPhoto version in iLife 05? ...don't want/need GarageBand, iDVD, etc., just iPhoto! Recommendations appreciated.

    This page
    http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/ordering_options/
    tells us that you can order books with v6 or later.
    You can place orders for Print Products using iPhoto 6, iPhoto '08, and iPhoto '09, as well as Aperture 2.
    As you're on 10.4.11 you might want to go to iPhoto 08 as it's the highest you can run, and will probably be easier to find. Note that you cannot upgrade to any version without purchasing the iLife suite.
