- driver is based on Uli Wortmann's HO DJ850 driver
- supports duplex printing
Note from the author: in duplex mode black is not so intensive as
in normal mode. Maybe HP wants to prevent, that you don't see the
black of the other side of the page too much.
If somebody knows HP's algorithm, how to reduce the black, then
author would try to compensate it with some code...
my dual PIII-700 trying to figure out the sizes of the
primary and secondary caches. The sizes turned out to be
rather wrong (definetly true for the L2 cache, may be L1
is indeed 32Kb). Their algorithm seems bogus to me, but
most importantly, the obtained values are NOT USED
anywhere in the GhostScript code... One of the submitted
patches rips the "cache size" section from the genarch
entirely.
The attached modification and new patches also:
. replace the use of mktemp/fopen with mkstemp/fdopen
. modify the unix-gcc.mak so that there is no need for
GNU-make

an enhanced PCL3 (PCL3+) driver
that was part of gs5 port and got lost in gs55 port.
Now it reappears in gs 6.01 ;-)

- make configure script work (Louis)
- make configure.batch script work (Andreas)
- extract contributed HP8XX driver in ${WRKSRC}/src
- make png driver compile (add $(PREFIX)/include to XINCLUDE variable)
Dunno, if this will be the last round of cleanups...

Before the new patch gs build fine, but didn't
include the printer devices included with configuration script.
After fixing this it refuses to build.
Any help appreciated.
Now you have the last version as I to help me to fix the mess.
Sorry folks ...

Support for encrypted PDF files by replacing pdf_sec.ps with the
free and legal version from:
http://www.ozemail.com.au/~geoffk/pdfencrypt/pdf_sec.ps
Deceided to update the pathnames of font files for easier
maintenance, because they revamped their ftp archive structure
to "5.10/files".
