LaserJet 4L
I tried this hint with My LaserJet 4L it worked with the respect that it directed a job at the printer. the problem is that it is not a PostScript printer. I tried various drivers for other LaserJets and the ESP LaserJet series driver but it just printed raw postscript text. I installed Gimp Print 4.2.2 for Mac OS X and now it works but the quality is bad. It seems to be imaging black as a poorly imaged dark gray and looks generally mottled. The print quality was working well connected to an old PC a couple of weeks ago so it is not the printer. I tried the PCL 2, 4 and 4L drivers from Gimp Print and the results are about the same. Any tips from anyone?
LaserJet 4L
I am currently using a LJ5L. It is NOT postscript capable. I use the ESP LaserJet family driver (which comes with CUPS in Jag) and print quality is good. I also have Ghostscript installed and have set up a Postscript RIP spool as well...this acts like a PS printer, rips the PS to PCL, and then sends it to the 5L. The instructions for setting this up are outside the scope of this hint, so I won't go into detail, but due to memory limitations this doesn't work very well on my bone-stock 5L.

Going on what I read early in the summer I assumed that the CUPS software which was going to be released in 10.2 was dependent on ghostscript so I had not installed it. Once I realized that gs was not there I installed ESP ghostscript for CUPS and now the print quality is good. I would like to share the printer on the network. Any direction is appreciated (we have an all Mac Network 8.6, 9 and some X) Thanks.
LaserJet 4L
I have the same setup - I'm trying to connect an HP 4L to an OS X machine. I've read all of the messages on this topic here at OS X Hints, and have installed CUPS, Gimp Print and Ghostscript. "Laserjet 4L" shows up in the "Add" menu of Print Center when I option-click, and I've tried using the ESP HP Laserjet series driver, but when I try to print anything I just get the barber pole rolling in the print center status bar for a few seconds, then "no jobs to print" flashes up for a second and nothing happens. Any ideas? |
