provides Ghostscript with a Gutenprint driver, supporting all printers
supported by libgutenprint.
.PP
-IJS is an initiative to improve the quality and ease of use of printing with
-Ghostscript. It permits adding or upgrading drivers without recompiling
-Ghostscript. An IJS driver runs in a separate process that communicates with
-Ghostscript via an IPC channel. The Gutenprint IJS driver may be used with
-AFPL Ghostscript, as it runs in a separate process.
+.B NOTE:
+ijsgutenprint should never be called directly. Ghostscript will run it if the
+IjsServer parameter is set to IjsServer=ijsgutenprint when invoking the IJS
+driver.
.PP
-The options for this driver are very complex. We strongly recommend
-use of a printer management system such as Foomatic rather than
-configuring a spooler manually with this driver. The driver name used
-by Foomatic is \fIgutenprint\-ijs\fP.
+.B NOTE:
+The only \fIsupported\fP method of running ijsgutenprint is via Foomatic.

This option must be supplied. There is no default. The IJS driver requires
the \fIvendor\fP (it's part of the protocol), but the ijsgutenprint driver
-ignores it. It should be CANON, EPSON, LEXMARK, or HEWLETT\-PACKARD. The value

-Most or all of the Epson Stylus printers are fully functional. The others

-Note these are gs options, \fInot\fP IJS options. Choose color vs. grayscale
-output. Color output is the default. Choosing \fIDeviceGrey\fP and
-\-dBitsPerSample=1 results in only black ink (no color ink) being used, which is
-faster and usually results in the most accurate grayscale, but at the expense
-of smoothness. This prints only black and white (thresholding). This option
-always uses Fast dithering unless you specify Very Fast. If you want composite
-color (using a mixture of color and black inks to produce gray), use
-\fIDeviceGrey\fP.
-.PP
-In addition, using \fIDeviceGrey\fP uses luminance (perceived brightness) of
-red, green, and blue to choose output levels. Blue of a given intensity is
-perceived to be much darker than red, which in turn appears darker than green.
-\fIDeviceRGB\fP, \fIDeviceCYMK\fP and Saturation=0.0 (see "Saturation" above)
-do not use luminance.
-.PP
-CMYK output may be used with the IJS driver only. It is useful if
-you're printing a CMYK graphic and want explicit control over the
-inks. Generally it yields inferior quality, as Gutenprint has good
-algorithms for converting RGB (screen) into CMYK (inks) that take
-into account paper type, ink type, and other variables. In CMYK
-mode, the brightness, contrast, and saturation controls do not
-function.
-.SH IMAGE TYPE

-Option \fI0\fP is the fastest. It generates strong, but not particularly
-accurate, colors. There may be some fairly sharp color transitions in this
-mode.
-.IP
-Option \fI1\fP generates more accurate colors, but is slower.
-.IP
-Option \fI2\fP generates the most accurate colors, but is considerably slower.
-.PP
-Note that any of the modes may be used with either color or black & white
-output. If black and white output is requested, but a color mode used,
-composite color will be printed. This generally offers smoother tone, but less
-purity of gray or black, than pure black ink. Furthermore, it is possible to
-tune the color of the gray (to achieve warmer or cooler effects) using the
-color controls in this fashion.
-.PP
-Specifying a lower GhostScript resolution (with \-r) results in faster color
-conversion. For example, if you print at 1440x720 DPI, but specify a
-Ghostscript resolution of 360 DPI (with \-r360), output will be significantly
-faster and there will be much less difference in performance between the three
-image type options.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-Note that a lot of these options are used for demonstration; generally
-adjusting the density is a bad idea!
