I had a similiar problem with my Epson Stylus Color 600. I took the
configuration file for my Laserjet 5L (saved under the name
/usr/sbin/ljet4-filter) and canged the lines at the top of the file:
#! /usr/sbin/magicfilter
#
# Magic filter setup file for 720 DPI Epson Stylus Color series
#
# This file has been automatically adapted to your system.
#
# PostScript
0 %! filter /usr/local/bin/gs @stc600ih.upp -q
-sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- -
0 \004%! filter /usr/local/bin/gs @stc600ih.upp -q
-sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- -
In the /etc/printcap I used to following entry (highly adapted from
Laserjet 5L too):
high|photo|Epson Stylus Color 600 for Inkjet and better paper:\
:lp=/dev/lp2:sd=/var/spool/lpd/stc600-high:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/sbin/stc-high-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
The only remaining problem is to find a ghostscript device for your
printer. I have gs 5.01 installed (compiled by myself) and use the
uniprint driver together with the so-called responce-file
stc600ih.upp.
I just looked into devices.txt, you should use stcolor but should
should use the uniprint-driver with the response-files stc2 (360x360),
stc2_h (720x720), or stc2s_h (if you have the Epson Stylus Color IIs).
BTW: If you are going the install gs yourself you should get 5.02
which is the current version.
2nd BTW: I have problem with the colors on my printer. The blue (as
defined by rgb(1,0,0) comes out as violett, it contains a lot of
magenta. If anyone has managed to have a working coloring setup I
would be really interested in his/her settings in stc600*.upp.
