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.

  • Can't print to a non Postscript printer on Mac

    How do you get inDesign to print to a non postscript printer (HP laserjet 1200). Running CS3 on Mac 10.4.11
    iD will not let me sellect the printer but defaults to Postscript file.

    A quick way around printing to any non-PostScript printer is to export or distill a PDF and print that.
    I've used this trick for years to print "colour proofs" on various different inkjet printers.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Get message ....printing to a non-postcript printer

    What is a non postscript printer?  I get error that I am printing to a non postscript printer????? I have Windows 7 64 bit and use Adobe Elements 6.  This problem started when I got a new HP computer over a year ago.  Photos now print so dark and don't come close to matching what is on screen.  Never had this problem with my last computer and printer.  Has anyone else had this problem and what is a possibly fix?  Thanks.

    Well, not totally true.  I have heard tell of a utility that will turn your computer into a print server and serve up the printer to the iPad/iDevice, whatever.  Here are a few links:

  • 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.

  • On the printing slowness of Postscript produced by the JVM from calls to Graphics.drawString() (Linux/Unix)

    Happy new year,
    before the holidays my attention was drawn to an issue that supposedly the Postscript produced by the JVM is too big and hence too slow.  Here are my findings.
    The issue
    Text printing via CUPS to native Postscript printers can be slow. Printing a terms and conditions page (17000 characters/page) takes three and a half minutes to print on a Dell 2330 dn laser printer (96 MB,Max speed 33 ppm). The file is about 8 MB in size. To contrast that, rendering the text to a buffered image with 300 DPI and printing the result produces 7 MB of output which prints in 30 seconds on the same printer. More measures for different printers and documents can be found at the end of this post. The issues is registered as  "JDK-4627340 : RFE: A way to improve text printing performance for postscript devices" (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4627340) and the proposed workaround is to use printer fonts.
    Side remark regarding the workaround
    There is a regression that prevents the workaround from working (bug 9008662 at Sun (not yet visible),  bug 8023990 at OpenJDK (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8023990). Without knowing what other bad side effects this might have, the issue can be resolved by setting the property "sun.awt.fontconfig". On my system I set it to the location of a "fontconfig.properties" of a JVM that does not have the bug (e.g. /home/alex/openjdk_7_b147_jun_11/openjdk/build/linux-i586/bin/java -Dsun.awt.fontconfig="/etc/java-6-openjdk/fontconfig.properties" Print2DtoStream). I also successfully tested the workaround on an Oracle JVM 1.7.0_03-b04.
    Back to the main topic
    How the JVM draws text if it can't use a standard printer font
    Text is drawn with postscript path drawning commands such as "moveto", "lineto" or "curveto". As an example consider the word "ll" which looks something like this:
    %N->short for "newpath"
    N
    %paint first "l"
    %M->short for "moveto"
    0.76875 11.06 M
    %L->short for "lineto"
    0.76875 2.468 L
    1.823 2.468 L
    1.823 11.06 L
    0.76875 11.06 L
    %p->short for "closepath"
    P
    %paint second "l"
    3.649 11.06 M
    3.649 2.468 L
    4.703 2.468 L
    4.703 11.06 L
    3.649 11.06 L
    P
    The same text could be printed with a printer font using the command "(ll) show" which is much more compact but is available in Java only for the Postscript standard fonts and it isn't working at all right now as explained above.
    Is it the file size?
    My first thought was that the file size was the source of of slowness and so I wrote a small processor that would detect glyphs, normalize*1 them and place them in a dictionary. Recurring references to the same glyph were replaced by a dictionary reference  (This is incidentally the fix proposed by the original author of RFE 4627340). This shrunk the file to about 11% of the original size but the processing time surprisingly doubled.
    *1: With "normalizing" I mean applying a translation transform so that the smallest coordinates in the contours of a glyph are exactly 0. In addition I experimented with performing a normalizing scale transform so that all coordinates lie between 0 and 1 so that identical glyphs are detected at arbitrary positions and at different font sizes.
    That led to the question to why there is such a big difference in performance between a Type 1 font dictionary and a self constructed dictionary since both contain basically the same drawing instructions. The difference is apparently that fonts are cached and user drawings are not unless explicitly told.
    The Postscript "ucache" instruction
    Postscript level 2 introduces the "ucache" instruction which seems to be defined for precisely this kind of problem. From the documentation:
    "Some PostScript programs define paths that are repeated many times. To optimize the interpretation of such paths, the PostScript language provides a facility called the user path cache. This cache, analogous to the font cache, retains the results from previously interpreted user path definitions. When the PostScript interpreter encounters a user path that is already in the cache, it substitutes the cached results instead of reinterpreting the path definition. "
    After adding "ucache" instructions to my filter the speed improved by factor 10.
    To illustrate the said the "ll" text from above looked as follows after the transformation:
    %definition of the glyph "l" named "p0"
    /p0
    ucache
    0.000 0.000 1.054 8.592 setbbox
    0.000 8.592 moveto
    0.000 0.000 lineto
    1.054 0.000 lineto
    1.054 8.592 lineto
    0.000 8.592 lineto
    closepath
    } cvlit def
    G
    N
    0.769 2.468 translate
    %draw "l" at 0.769 2.468
    p0 ufill
    -0.769 -2.468 translate
    3.649 2.468 translate
    %draw "l" at 3.649 2.468
    p0 ufill
    -3.649 -2.468 translate
    For ucached shapes there is a special compact representation so that the same can be written as follows:
    /p0
    0.000 0.000 1.054 8.592
    0.000 8.592
    0.000 0.000
    1.054 0.000
    1.054 8.592
    0.000 8.592
    } cvlit def
    G
    N
    0.769 2.468 translate
    p0 ufill
    -0.769 -2.468 translate
    3.649 2.468 translate
    p0 ufill
    -3.649 -2.468 translate
    Interestingly the speed improvement remained the same on a Chinese report that had hardly any character reuse. Upon this observation I changed the filter to not use a dictionary but so simply instruct the interpreter to cache each glyph definition and the performance remained nearly the same.
    The initial "ll" text from above looks as follows after this transformation:
    N
    %paint first "l" cached
    0.76875 2.468 1.823 11.06
    0.76875 11.06
    0.76875 2.468
    1.823 2.468
    1.823 11.06
    0.76875 11.06
    } ufill
    %paint second  "l" cached
    3.649 2.468 4.703 11.06
    3.649 11.06
    3.649 2.468
    4.703 2.468
    4.703 11.06
    3.649 11.06
    } ufill
    Note that I didn't normalize the shapes.
    Why does this improve the performance so vastly if the shape is drawn only once? For a while I thought perhaps that the interpreter would consider two paths which differ only by a translation as being the same but rereading the documentation and looking at the Chinese example in which nearly all characters are unique, disproves this. The relevant part of the documentation reads:
    "Caching is based on the value of a user path object. That is, two user paths are considered the same for caching purposes if all of their corresponding elements are equal, even if the objects themselves are not.
    A user path placed in the cache need not be explicitly retained in virtual memory. An equivalent user path appearing literally later in the program can take advantage of the cached information. Of course, if it is known that a given user path will be used many times, defining it explicitly in VM avoids creating it multiple times.
    User path caching, like font caching, is effective across translations of the user coordinate system, but not across other transformations, such as scaling or rotation. In other words, multiple instances of a given user path painted at different places on the page will take advantage of the user path cache when the current transformation matrix has been altered only by translate. If the CTM has been altered by scale or rotate , the instances will be treated as if they were described by different user paths."
    An explanation that would fit the findings
    The rasterizer renders the page multiple time (perhaps in order to save memory and produce horizontal strips). On the first rendering the cache is filled and reused on the subsequent renderings thereby improving performance even if all cached items are used only once.
    Based upon this theory I hoped that the strip height would grow if I added more memory to the printer but this was not the case on the two printers for which I had memory to test with. Even substantial changes to the available memory (e.g. going from 32 MB to 96 MB) had no impact whatsoever on the performance.
    Summary
    The issue is not related to the file size as the original requester suspected but very likely due to the uncached rendering. Caching of glyphs can be achieved by using the "ucache" instruction or perhaps by placing the glyphs in font dictionaries and using the "show" operator.
    Although reported in 2003, time is apparently not healing this quick enough since printers in the 10,000$ class like the Sharp MX2310U still take a full minute to print 10 pages and a desktop printer may be blocked for over an hour for the same document.
    We will now try to use the CUPS filter and leave the printers configured as Postscript printers. If there is interest I can post the single file source of a CUPS filter that performs the inline conversion described. Apart from libl it requires no additional libraries and written using flex it is reasonably lightweight and fast.
    I would appreciate any opinion on whether or not the proposed workaround for bug 8023990 (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8023990), namely having the system property "sun.awt.fontconfig" pointing to a working fontconfig.properties of a previously installed and working 1.6 version file, is safe.
    Measures (Appendix)
    "Terms and Conditions" report
    Testing a single page "Terms and Conditions" report in "Arial" 8pt (I am aware that "Helvetica" is width compatible and nearly looks the same but in this particular case the line height was also relevant and as explained above, printer fonts are currently not working). The page contains 17000 characters of which some parts are bold and some italic. This is a real world example and to make things worse the requirement is to print the text on the backside of every page on a certain class of reports. I am aware that this is a bit extreme but I also felt that I couldn't dismiss it as being unreasonable.

  • Install Non-postscript print on Solaris 10 x86

    I tried to setup a print queue on solaris 10 x86 for a Brother HL-1230 non-postscript printer which attached to Linksys EPSX3 print server parallel port 1 (L1).
    The network configuration as followed:
    EPSX3: 192.168.2.250
    Solaris box: 192.168.2.170
    /etc/hosts:
    192.168.2.170 neptune
    192.168.2.250 epsx3
    I used the printmgr to setup my print queue. In the destination field I typed epsx23:L1 and pick up the printer drive by model number using ppd file.
    I'm able to use the print queue to print text file, eg. /etc/hosts.
    However, I didn't get any ouput from web browser. When I print from the PDF viewer, it complained there is no supported postscript printer.
    Did I do something wrong in the setup? When I used the lpstat -p command to see the print queue status, it return nothing. Is there anything wrong with the print server daemon?
    Thanks.

  • "Some postscript settings will be ignored... using non-PostScript printer"  HELP!

    Hi,
    I recently installed Sigma Photo Pro on my Mac G5 (Power PC), and now when I try to print to my Epson Sylus 2200 from PS (version 8.0), I get the evil message in the heading above, and the colors look terrible. I've reinstalled drivers, deleted programs and tweaked settings to no avail. Any thoughts?
    many thanks,
    laura

    I'm surprised this is the first time you've seen this message.  I get it all of the time when I'm printing .tiff's using a desktop non-postscipt printer.  I know that Epson is non-postscript, so that message should come up all of the time.  There are work arounds like installing a third party RIP, but you shouldn't have to.  If the color does not look good, you might have to revert back to where you were when the prints did look good.  Something has changed.

  • Printing EPS on a non-PostScript printer

    I'm using a package that generates graphics as EPS files. I need to embed these into MS Word - no problems so far! I have a DeskJet 990CXi (a non-PostScript printer) and can't find a way of printing from Word. I installed GutenPrint this morning; it installed fine, but the instructions on how to add it as a printer did not work on my system (10.4.5) - the instructions said there'd be an "Advanced" option, but it doesn't exist on my system! Any advice gratefully received, the easier to understand, the better!

    I've found a workaround (more on that later), but a description of what I wanted to do: I have MS Word and I was importing EPS graphics into it. Word (v.X) would not print the EPS graphics on my HP printer, it would just print a low-res tiff graphic that was included in the EPS file, not the high-res EPS. I'd be interested to know how I could have got Word to print the EPS on my deskjet, might be useful for the future. If I had a pure PS or EPS file I don't think there would have been a problem; I think the problem was that the EPS was embedded in a Word document. I then installed gutenprint and, on my iMac, I could not get the "Advanced" option even though I was pressing the keys described in their help file. Thank you for the info on how the behaviour has changed in Tiger. I subsequently installed usbtb and things started to look a little more promising; it could see my printer. When I tried to print, the print queue kept stopping. This morning I've deleted gutenprint and usbtb as I no longer need them: I found that I can import the EPS graphics into Pages and they are converted automatically into PDF and are then scaleable etc in Pages and print with excellent results! Interestingly, importing the converted PDFs into Word gives really poor results. So, I'm going to use Pages to create my document and print to my deskjet using the standard Mac drivers. Thank you for taking the time (a) reply to my message and (b) to read this long message!

    Graham

  • Printserver and the non-postscript printer

    Hi
    Hope someone can help me. I recently bought a Linksys PSUS4 printserver so I can share a HP DeskJet 840C printer over my home network. The printserver is hooked up to a Linksys router, the printer connects to to printserver via USB.
    Now, I can print without any problems using a PC with Windows XP. My Mac (connected to a router via Airport) "sees" the printer via AppleTalk, however it identifies the printer as being a postscript one, which it's not. When I tried to print anything from the Mac, I got only a line full of meaningles letters and the printer won't stop "printing" empty pages until stopped manually.
    I've tried to specify the printer model and Gimp drivers, but it just doesn't work.
    There's no Bonjour option when adding a new printer in the Print setup utility. The printer works fine when connected via USB.
    It all works fine when working with postscript printers - my brother's network is build using the same Linksys router and printserver and I can print using his postscript printer OK. It's the same at work.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanx

    I guess you should be using the HP Deskjet 840C Gimp-Print driver included in OS X. Is that the one you tried?
    Look in the manual for the print server - which protocols does it support? If TCP/IP raw or port 9100, that equals IP printer >HP Jetdirect in OS X. That's the easiest one. Can you use a browser to log into the print server and find out the port name/queue name for the LPD or IPP protocol?
    Before adding printers again, try Reset Printer Setup, a menu item in Printer Setup. Then restart the Mac, then Add.

  • 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.
    Workaround: print as bitmap

  • How to print a QR code on a non postscript printer?

    Hi experts,
    I  wanted to output a QR code on my smartform and I actually successed by following the steps of Robert Russell's instruction(his blog). But it turns out that if you want to print a QR code then you must use a postscript printer but not a normal(?) printer such as the one in my office(Canon LBP3910).
    I have tried to:
    download the newest  version  of driver about  Canon LBP3910 and import it as a new device type into SAP. Then edit the spool format(insert credit,bwipp encode ,render to format DINA4) and print control . Assign this device type to my printer.
    I tried several times but it didn't work at all. So I wonder if we can print a QR code on a non postscript printer.
    Thanks for your help.

    Can I post a new question here? I know you guys are professional on creating barcode. So, ...thanks. Can anyone tell me how to create barcode in ASP.NET using VB.NET? Must I use such a tool? I am new to this. So I do not have any experience of creating barcode. Thank you, guys. By the way, I read the passage called the barcode image settings in VB.NET. So the created image can be changed?

  • PDF file looks fine on the monitor, but paths bond in print in both PS and non-PS printers.

    Hi,
    I have a printing from Illustrator PDF problem. I've got Illy CS4 in which I have a rather huge file with a map and I'm tring to print pieces of the map. The PDF looks fine on the screen, but there are straigt lines on the print leading from one end to the other of two longest paths in the file.
    The problem occurs when saving through Scripts to PDF, Scripts to Poscript in Illustrator CS4 (with all updates) and CS5.1. I also went to a friend who is using CS5 and a PDF made with it also had paths bonded. The problem doesn't occur when saving the file to a low version of Illy, opening it in Corel X4 and printing from a PDF made in Corel. Funny enough I also made a multipage A3+ print of an older version of the file and two of the lines showed up on the first artboard, none on the middle one and only one line in the third one (see the photo below).
    Guys at the printers and more advanced Illustrator users I've asked for help said the've never seen anything like this and have no idea what the problem is. Accually, anyone I know hasn't got a clue of what the problem might be.

    Any ideas of what I can do to print this properly? I'm pretty far from being an Illustrator expert and I ran out of ideas for fixing this and would really appreciate help...

    Hi Scott,
    Thanks for your reply. Print screen of the image I'm supposed to be getting in print, that is my PDF: http://imageshack.us/f/692/printscreenu.jpg/
    In the first jpg below are the only lines which are supposed to be printed (marked in red). The problem is that apart of what I'm supposed to be getting in print (print screen of the pdf above), I'm getting the lines I've marked in yellow in the second jpg below and which are not drawn in my .ai file neither in PDF. They show up in print only.
