NAME
     GSinterface - LP  interface  script  for  using  ghostscript
     under lpsched

SYNOPSIS
     GSinterface [request-id] [user] [title] [copies] [options]
     [files]

DESCRIPTION
     This shell script is intended to be uses as an LP interface
     script on Solaris 2.6 and later systems.  It allows print
     queues to be configured under LP using Ghostscript to render
     for the printer.

     Configuration under lpsched is performed via the lpadmin(1M)
     command.

          # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/... -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown \
               -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface \
               -o GS_DEVICE=(gs-device-type) \
               [-o OutputFile=(file/device)] [-o PAPERSIZE=(size)] \
               [-o RESOLUTION=XxY] [-o banner-type=(ascii|postscript)] \
               [-o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=... -sIjsParams=..."]

     Valid values for the GS_DEVICE setting can be obtained  from
     Ghostscript by running: "gs -h". This will dump a variety of
     information about Ghostscript's usage and compile time  con-
     figuration.  The "Available devices:" section lists the for-
     mats that Ghostscript will render  to.   You  will  need  to
     match  one  of these formats to the format that your printer
     takes as input.


EXAMPLES
     To configure a Canon Bublejet 800c (NeWSprinter CL+) printer
     connected to an ECP parallel port:

          # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/ecpp0 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown \
               -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface \
               -o GS_DEVICE=bjc800
          # accept printer
          # enable printer

     To configure an HP DeskJet 990 printer connected via  a  USB
     interface using IJS support:

          # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/usb/lp1 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown \
               -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface \
               -o GS_DEVICE=ijs \
               -o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=hpijs -sDeviceManufacturer=HEWLETT-PACKARD -sDeviceModel='DESKJET 990' -DIjsUseOutputFD"
          # accept printer
          # enable printer
