postscript -> ghostscript -> HP8600

Show all headers | View raw

    I have a properly setup CentOS 7 box, running the latest
ghostscript.

    I use gnuplot to produce postscript plots which I wish to
print on these newer HP Office Jet Pro 86xx which do not
accept postscript.

    I am told I can use the HPLIP package to make ghostscript
properly convert postscript to HP8600 format.

     However I have found no serious documentation on how to use
ghostscript with HPLIP, and the HPLIP web site is horrid.

    The command line I am told is:

#!/bin/bash
 
gs \
-sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs \
-dIjsUseOutputFD \
-sDeviceManufacturer="HP"  \
-sDeviceModel="OfficeJet Pro 8600 E-aio n911a" \
/tmp/data.ps     <- output of gnuplot.
 
       Which produces the following errors:

     The errors are too cryptic for me to understand what they are
referring to.

     Thanks for your help.
