NAME

       ijsgutenprint - Ghostscript driver for Gutenprint

SYNOPSIS

       gs     -sDEVICE=ijs     -sIjsServer=/usr/bin/ijsgutenprint     -sDeviceManufacturer=vendor
       -sDeviceModel=name [  -dIjsUseOutputFD  ]  -sIjsParams=[  key1=value1,keyn=valuen...  ]  [
       options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

       ijsgutenprint  provides  Ghostscript  with  a  Gutenprint  driver, supporting all printers
       supported by libgutenprint.

       NOTE: ijsgutenprint should never be called directly.   Ghostscript  will  run  it  if  the
       IjsServer parameter is set to IjsServer=ijsgutenprint when invoking the IJS driver.

       NOTE:  The  only supported method of running ijsgutenprint is via Foomatic.  Users running
       ghostscript directly will  not  be  supported.   The  driver  name  used  by  Foomatic  is
       gutenprint-ijs.5.2.

OPTIONS

       ijsgutenprint  accepts  the  following  Ghostscript  IJS options.  The Gutenprint-specific
       options are not documented here.

       -dIjsUseOutputFD
              This option should be specified whenever output from Ghostscript will go to  stdout
              or  into  a  pipe.   It  may  be  specified  in all other cases, with only a slight
              performance degradation.

       -sIjsParams=Option1=Value1,Option2=Value2
              This parameter contains a single string containing a comma-separated list  of  sub-
              options.

       -sDeviceManufacturer=vendor -sDeviceModel=name
              This  option  must  be supplied.  There is no default.  The IJS driver requires the
              vendor (it's part of the protocol), but the ijsgutenprint driver ignores it.

HISTORY

       The   Ghostscript   stp   driver   was    originally    written    by    Henryk    Richter
       (buggs@comlab.uni-rostock.de),   and   was  integrated  into  Gutenprint  during  the  3.1
       development series.  Gutenprint (which was named Gimp-Print prior to release  5.0)  itself
       was originally written by Michael Sweet <mike@easysw.com>, who released up to version 2.0;
       Robert   Krawitz   released   version    3.0.     The    Gutenprint    development    team
       (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net) now maintains the entire package.

       The  IJS  driver  was originally written by Russell Lang, and incorporated into Gutenprint
       (known then as Gimp-Print) in early 2002.  This driver corresponds with the  IJS  protocol
       0.32.

       The stp driver is no longer supported as of Gutenprint 5.0.
