pxlmono http://www.ghostscript.com/ gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dNOMEDIAATTRS -dNOINTERPOLATE%B%A%Z -sOutputFile=- - *DefaultResolution: 1200dpi Driver for monochrome PCL 6 printers, much faster than the "lj5gray" drivers. The "pxlmono" and the "pxlcolor" driver are the same code, the difference is only that the "pxlcolor" gives colour and the "pxlmono" grayscale output. This entry for the "pxlmono" driver lists only monochrome printers. See the "<a href="show_driver.cgi?driver=pxlcolor">pxlcolor</a>" driver entry for color printers. Due to a bug in Ghostscript Duplex does not work with the "pxlmono" and the "pxlcolor" drivers. Here is a <a href="http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/ghostscript-pxl-patches/duplex.patch">patch</a> for GPL Ghostscript 8.63. This patch is needed so that the Duplex option of the PPDs from this site works. Setting Duplex with PJL commands does not work. The resolution must be given both with the "-r" option on the command line of Ghostscript and as PJL command. Here is a <a href="http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/ghostscript-pxl-patches/resolution.patch">patch</a> for GPL Ghostscript 8.63 so that giving the PJL commands is not necessary any more. This patch is needed for the resolution option of the PPDs of this site to work. Another Ghostscript bug in the driver broke paper input tray selection. This <a href="http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/ghostscript-pxl-patches/inputslot.patch">patch</a> for GPL Ghostscript 8.63 fixes the problem and allows to set the input tray with the "-dMediaPosition=X" commmand line option for Ghostscript. "X" is an integer number which depends on the printer model and tray. For HP "0" is usually the printer default, "1" automatic selection, "2" manual feed, "4" the upper, and "5" the lower tray. Note that for PCL 5/5e these numbers are different. This patch is required so that tray selection with the PPDs of this site works. GPL Ghostscript 8.63 comes with a CUPS filter ("pstopxl") and 2 PPD files for the "pxlmono" and "pxlcolor" drivers. Note that you will need all the three patches mentioned here to make the options in the PPD files actually work. With this <a href="http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/ghostscript-cups-patches/pstopxl-pdf-input.patch">patch</a> the filter and the PPDs will be made ready for <a href="https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/PDF_as_Standard_Print_Job_Format">PDF input</a>. The patches are all applied to GPL Ghostscript from version 8.64 on, so they are not needed any more with this version or later versions of Ghostscript. printer/Brother-DCP-8045D printer/Brother-HL-1250 printer/Brother-HL-1270N printer/Brother-HL-1450 printer/Brother-HL-1470N printer/Brother-HL-1650 printer/Brother-HL-1660e printer/Brother-HL-1670N printer/Brother-HL-1850 printer/Brother-HL-1870N printer/Brother-HL-2060 printer/Brother-HL-2070N printer/Brother-HL-2140 printer/Brother-HL-2460 printer/Brother-HL-2460N printer/Brother-HL-5030 printer/Brother-HL-5040 printer/Brother-HL-5050 printer/Brother-HL-5070N printer/Brother-HL-5140 printer/Brother-HL-5150D printer/Brother-HL-5170DN printer/Brother-HL-7050 printer/Brother-HL-7050N printer/Canon-imageRunner_1023 printer/Canon-imageRunner_1023iF printer/Canon-imageRunner_1023N printer/Canon-imageRunner_2016 printer/Canon-imageRunner_2016i printer/Canon-imageRunner_2018 printer/Canon-imageRunner_2020 printer/Canon-imageRunner_2020i printer/Canon-imageRunner_2022 printer/Canon-imageRunner_2200 printer/Canon-imageRunner_2230 printer/Canon-imageRunner_2270 printer/Canon-imageRunner_2800 printer/Canon-imageRunner_3025 printer/Canon-imageRunner_3225 printer/Canon-imageRunner_3300 printer/Canon-imageRunner_5000 printer/Canon-imageRunner_6000 printer/Canon-imageRunner_7086 printer/Canon-imageRunner_7095 printer/Canon-imageRunner_7105 printer/Canon-imageRunner_8070 printer/Canon-LBP-1000 printer/Canon-LBP-1760 printer/Canon-LBP-3360 printer/Canon-LBP-3460 printer/Canon-LBP-5970 printer/Canon-LBP-5975 printer/Epson-EPL-5800 This driver works at all resolutions. printer/Epson-EPL-5800PS printer/Epson-EPL-5900 printer/Epson-EPL-5900_PS3 printer/Epson-EPL-6100 printer/Epson-EPL-6100_PS3 printer/Epson-EPL-N2050 printer/Epson-EPL-N2050plus printer/Epson-EPL-N2050PS printer/Epson-EPL-N2050PSplus printer/Epson-EPL-N2120 printer/Epson-EPL-N2500 printer/Epson-EPL-N2500_PS3 printer/Epson-EPL-N2750 printer/Epson-EPL-N2750PS printer/Fujitsu-PrintPartner_20W printer/Generic-PCL_6_PCL_XL_Printer printer/HP-LaserJet_1200 printer/HP-LaserJet_1220 printer/HP-LaserJet_1300 printer/HP-LaserJet_1320 printer/HP-LaserJet_2100 printer/HP-LaserJet_2100M printer/HP-LaserJet_2200 printer/HP-LaserJet_2300 printer/HP-LaserJet_3200 printer/HP-LaserJet_3200m printer/HP-LaserJet_3200se printer/HP-LaserJet_3300_MFP printer/HP-LaserJet_3310_MFP printer/HP-LaserJet_3320N_MFP printer/HP-LaserJet_3320_MFP printer/HP-LaserJet_3330_MFP printer/HP-LaserJet_3390 printer/HP-LaserJet_3392 printer/HP-LaserJet_4000 Might work for 1200dpi mono? printer/HP-LaserJet_4050 to 1200dpi printer/HP-LaserJet_4100 printer/HP-LaserJet_4200 printer/HP-LaserJet_4300 printer/HP-LaserJet_5 printer/HP-LaserJet_5100 printer/HP-LaserJet_8150 printer/HP-LaserJet_9000 printer/HP-LaserJet_M1522nf_MFP printer/HP-LaserJet_M1522n_MFP printer/IBM-Infoprint_12 Prints 1200x1200 using pxlmono driver, but I could only make it work after setting to 1200dpi using PJL.

Using "ljet4" driver helped to solve this, but I suspect it worked just because PCL 5 is a bit dumber than PCL 6, so Ghostscript could not pass it so high-level data and have filtered out the bad PostScript... printer/Oce-fx2080 printer/Oce-sx1480 printer/Oki-B2400 printer/Oki-B4200 printer/Oki-B4250 printer/Oki-B4300 printer/Oki-B4350 printer/Oki-B4400 printer/Oki-B4600 printer/Oki-B4600_PS printer/Oki-Okipage_10ex printer/Oki-Okipage_14ex printer/Panasonic-DP-2330 printer/Panasonic-DP-4510 printer/Panasonic-DP-4520 printer/Panasonic-DP-8016P printer/Panasonic-DP-8020E printer/Panasonic-DP-8045 printer/Panasonic-DP-8060 printer/Panasonic-DP-C213 printer/Panasonic-DP-C262 printer/Panasonic-DP-C264 printer/Panasonic-DP-C354 printer/Ricoh-Aficio_220 printer/Samsung-ML-1250 printer/Samsung-ML-1450 printer/Samsung-ML-1450PS printer/Samsung-ML-1650 printer/Samsung-ML-1651N printer/Samsung-ML-1750 printer/Samsung-ML-2150 printer/Samsung-ML-2150PS printer/Samsung-ML-2151N printer/Samsung-ML-2151NPS printer/Samsung-ML-2152W printer/Samsung-ML-2152WPS printer/Samsung-ML-2250 The Foomatic/pxlmono driver works with this printer. printer/Samsung-ML-2550 printer/Samsung-ML-2551N printer/Samsung-ML-2552W printer/Samsung-ML-4600 Use this one to use the PCL6 language and to permit the printer to use 1200 dpi mode. printer/Samsung-ML-6060 printer/Samsung-ML-6060N printer/Samsung-ML-6060S printer/Samsung-ML-7000 printer/Samsung-ML-7000N printer/Samsung-ML-7000P printer/Samsung-ML-7050 printer/Samsung-ML-7300 printer/Samsung-ML-7300N printer/Sharp-AR-161 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_1101 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_1351 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_162 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_162d printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_167 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_203l printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_233 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_237 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_283 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_353 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_450s printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_453 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_500p printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_500s printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_523 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_523t printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_603 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_603t printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_723 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_723t printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_853 printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_901 printer/Xerox-Phaser_3150
