If I'm understanding correctly what you've written, it seems to me
that your problem may not be ghostview. I think you might want to try
specifying different drivers for your printer to see if others might
work better.
You might also want to provide a bit of information about your system.
I am on Debian Lenny, and CUPS 1.3.8 is installed. My DeskJet-1120C is
the only printer defined in cups. On http://localhost:631, it says:
HP DeskJet 1120 C - CUPS + Gutenprint v5.0.2
URL parallel:/dev/lp0
General default media size A4
Color Model RGB Color
The CUPS test page prints OK with due colors
In my older system (Debian Sarge), I also had cups, but I wonder if
hpijs was not installed too. In here, it was not installed, but I just
did installed it, with no difference in the end printing result. A 'man
hpijs' says:
'Ghostscript will run it if the ijs server parameter is set to
'IjsServer=hpijs' when invoking the IJS driver'.
But I don't know how to go about to carry that test, since a 'man
ghostscript' does not explain how invoke it the right way ; 'gs
-sDEVICE=IJS myfile.ps' sends an error saying that device IJS is not found
I run Debian testing on all of my systems, and I recently had to
switch from hpijs drivers to CUPS+Gutenprint on all of my HP LaserJet
printers for a similar problem. (They weren't dithering or shading
properly, but simly printing black & white.)
Here it seems to be the opposite: CUPS with Gutenprint gives poor black
and white prints, and I am trying to test hpijs... to no avail so far
