<br>Unless you plan on doing batch printing, I think you're making this harder then what it is. The simpler method in my mind would be to find a program that can read postscript files, and then print them through that application.<br>
<br>You can try GSview, which is a ghostview port to Windows (<a href="http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/index.htm">http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/index.htm</a>)<br><br>If you are trying to do batch printing, then I would recommend printing the files from linux to your printer (even if it's much slower), and just walk away for a bit. There is a risk of corrupting the layout of the page when converting from PS to another format, such as margin spacing, warped images, text alignment, etc.<br>
<br>Hope this helps<br><br>-Rob<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 11:35 AM, Joe <<a href="mailto:josephj@main.nc.us">josephj@main.nc.us</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
On my (very) old desktop system, in Linux, my printer only prints in<br>
highest quality - about 2ppm. Under windoze, I can get it into draft<br>
mode and get over 10 ppm out of it. I've given up on fixing it in<br>
Linux, but I still need to use the printer.<br>
<br>
What I want to do is use ghostscript (on windows) to convert postscript<br>
files from Linux to HP PCL for my Deskjet HP895Cse printer.<br>
<br>
I installed ghostscript under windows 98se.<br>
<br>
What command line do I need to get gs to convert a ps file and send it<br>
to my printer in draft mode?<br>
<br>
When I create the print files (on my notebook) using print to file, do I<br>
need to tell it that the target printer is my HP895Cse?<br>
<br>
Is there a better way to do this?<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
