Re: can't get color printing to work

[Andreas Klemm <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

which driver do you use ?
hpdj and pcl3 driver default to mono printing.
I had to use with my HP DJ970:

	lpr -C high:present:cmyk

AFAIK high resolution was needed for color printing as well as
cmyk ... presentation quality migh also be needed.

Read the driver documentation in ghostscript source or in the
sources of the 3rd party drivers.

Experiment on the commandline first and then try to do it
with apsfilter it its that tricky...

BTW, in the freebsd port you'll find hpdj and pcl3 driver docu
in /usr/local/share/doc/ghostscript/6.50
