INSTALLING AND UPDATING -------------------------- You can find the latest version of this program at: http://www.hpgs.cjb.net Extract the compressed file in a directory and go to the hpgs direc- tory: $tar xvzf hpgs-X.XX $cd hpgs-X.XX (X.XX is the version) Before installing, check if the GhostScript is in the ``/usr/bin'' directory: $which gs /usr/bin/gs If it is in another directory, modify the hpgs.c and Makefile files, adding the correct directory. After, type: $make This will make the hpgs binary. *********************************** ** PLEASE NOTE!!! PLEASE NOTE!!! ** *********************************** hpgs needs to be installed as ``gs''. The original ``gs'' needs to be named as ``gs-run'', both in the ``/usr/bin'' directory. If this is the first time you instal hpgs, type, as root: #make really-install If you have an old version of hpgs, you might have a ``gs.default'' file in ``/usr/bin''. This is your GhostScript ``gs''. You will need to remove the ``/usr/bin/gs'' file and rename the ``gs.default'' to ``gs'' before installing. Another way is to type, as root: #make update I used really-instal instead just install because if someone who wants to _update_ the system runs the _install_ script, he/she will not be able to run the hpgs because the old hpgs will be renamed to ``gs-run'' and the new hpgs will call the old hpgs instead the ``gs'' command. 2. USING -------- In the printtool, install you printer using the ``HP DeskJet 550C/ 560C/6xxC series'' filter (driver). To enable the EconoMode printing, set the ``Extra GS Options'' to ``-dDepletion=-1''. (You can set the print quality by seting the -dDepletion to another value). You can do something like this with linuxconf, but it will not be described here. 3.
