Hello I would like to patch gutenprint to allow to display only my list of paper format I found some paper and printer xml files in the <root>/src/xml directory But I can't see any link that customize the paper size list in the GUI. Can somebody points to me the relevant files. My problem is to access to the A3 AND A3+ formats. If I set "custom", the GUI always reset to the A4 size. If I choose the printer generic -> PCL LF, I have the A3 but not the A3+ and the custom has disappeared. Thanks Patrick PS I don't use cups, only gimp + gutenprint |

Hi Thank you very much Indeed the super-B is the A3+. I assume the reason is printer manufacturors have to implement the legacy sizes for all the continants, The A3+ super-B is an invention to cut out in order to print without margins. Then manufacturors chose a size that contains all theese large legacy format The version I have compiled are 5.3.1, 5.2.14 and 5.2.15, gimp is 2.8, the printer is an HP officejet 7110, it is claim to support (only) PCL3 I tried a print but the super-B is only in the combo box if the printer selected is the generic PCL LF. In this case the printer crashes when receive the task. I have to shut it down via the power cord. It restarts properly. It think the best way is to patch Gutenprint to support large papers in case of the 7110. Next step is to support "dual super-B". I have 914mm plotter rolls. By cutting 330mm strips and supplying by hand, I should be able to print on 13x36 inches. I assume I have to create an entry in the xml papers file.

By cutting 330mm strips and supplying by hand, I should be able to print on 13x36 inches. I assume I have to create an entry in the xml papers file. Please try using the HP Color Inkjet Printer CP1700 driver. That driver is identical except that it supports up to 13x19" media. If that works, I'll update the entry in 5.3 (5.2 has had its last release). You should be able to set a custom size by selecting Custom as the media size. Unfortunately, it's currently hard-coded for a maximum length of 19". You can edit the appropriate entry in src/main/print-pcl.c and recompile; if larger sizes in fact work, we could raise the limit. > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Krawitz [mailto:rl...@al...] > Sent: dimanche 23 juin 2019 17:41 > To: pat...@ne... > Cc: gim...@li... > Subject: Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Customizing paper list > > On Sun, 23 Jun 2019 17:05:08 +0200, Patrick wrote: >> Hello >> >> I would like to patch gutenprint to allow to display only my list of >> paper format >> >> I found some paper and printer xml files in the <root>/src/xml >> directory >> >> But I can't see any link that customize the paper size list in the GUI. >> >> Can somebody points to me the relevant files. >> >> My problem is to access to the A3 AND A3+ formats.

Hi The CP1700 accepts large format Unfortunately it crashes the printer, I had to unplug and replug. It may not works also for the standard A4 size as in such case, I use my Postscript laser. I made some dumps and attached the first lines of the files. The first one is a print from notepad on W7, the second is gutenprint 00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 00002710 1b 45 1b 25 2d 31 32 33 34 35 58 40 50 4a 4c 20 |.E.%-12345X@PJL | 00002720 53 45 54 20 53 54 52 49 4e 47 43 4f 44 45 53 45 |SET STRINGCODESE| 00002730 54 3d 55 54 46 38 0a 40 50 4a 4c 20 43 4f 4d 4d |T=UTF8.@PJL COMM| 00002740 45 4e 54 3d 22 4a 6f 62 20 53 74 61 72 74 20 54 |ENT="Job Start T| 00002750 69 6d 65 3a 20 4d 6f 6e 20 4a 75 6c 20 30 31 20 |ime: Mon Jul 01 | 00002760 31 30 3a 35 37 3a 31 36 3a 38 30 36 20 32 30 31 |10:57:16:806 201| 00002770 39 22 0a 40 50 4a 4c 20 4a 4f 42 4e 41 4d 45 3d |9".@PJL JOBNAME=| 00002780 22 55 6e 74 69 74 6c 65 64 20 2d 20 4e 6f 74 65 |"Untitled - Note| 00002790 70 61 64 22 0a 40 50 4a 4c 20 53 45 54 20 4a 4f |pad".@PJL SET JO| 000027a0 42 4e 41 4d 45 3d 22 55 6e 74 69 74 6c 65 64 20 |BNAME="Untitled | 000027b0 2d 20 4e 6f 74 65 70 61 64 22 0a 40 50 4a 4c 20 |- Notepad".@PJL | 000027c0 43 4f 4d 4d 45 4e 54 3d 22 48 50 20 4f 66 66 69 |COMMENT="HP Offi| 000027d0 63 65 6a 65 74 20 37 31 31 30 20 73 65 72 69 65 |cejet 7110 serie| 000027e0 73 3b 20 57 69 6e 64 6f 77 73 20 56 69 73 74 61 |s; Windows Vista| 000027f0 20 36 2e 31 2e 37 36 30 31 20 53 65 72 76 69 63 | 6.1.7601 Servic| 00002800 65 20 50 61 63 6b 20 31 3b 20 55 4e 49 44 52 56 |e Pack 1; UNIDRV| 00002810 2e 44 4c 4c 3b 20 36 2e 31 2e 37 36 30 31 2e 31 |.DLL; 6.1.7601.1| 00002820 37 35 31 34 20 28 77 69 6e 37 73 70 31 5f 72 74 |7514 (win7sp1_rt| 00002830 6d 2e 31 30 31 31 31 39 2d 31 38 35 30 29 3b 20 |m.101119-1850); | 00002840 68 70 76 70 6c 64 72 76 31 30 2e 64 6c 6c 3b 20 |hpvpldrv10.dll; | 00002850 31 30 2e 39 33 2e 30 30 2e 31 32 31 36 3b 20 22 |10.93.00.1216; "| 00002860 0a 40 50 4a 4c 20 43 4f 4d 4d 45 4e 54 3d 22 55 |.@PJL COMMENT="U| 00000000 1b 45 1b 26 6c 36 44 1b 26 6b 31 32 48 1b 26 6c |.E.&l6D.&k12H.&l| 00000010 30 4f 1b 26 6c 31 36 41 1b 26 6c 31 31 34 50 1b |0O.&l16A.&l114P.| 00000020 26 6c 30 4c 1b 26 6c 30 45 1b 2a 6f 31 4d 1b 26 |&l0L.&l0E.*o1M.&| 00000030 6c 30 4d 1b 2a 74 33 30 30 52 1b 2a 72 2d 34 55 |l0M.*t300R.*r-4U| 00000040 1b 2a 62 32 4d 1b 26 61 30 48 1b 26 61 33 30 56 |.*b2M.&a0H.&a30V| 00000050 1b 2a 72 33 37 35 30 53 1b 2a 72 35 30 34 35 54 |.*r3750S.*r5045T| 00000060 1b 2a 72 31 41 1b 2a 62 38 56 81 00 81 00 81 00 |.*r1A.*b8V......| 00000070 ac 00 1b 2a 62 38 56 81 00 81 00 81 00 ac 00 1b |...*b8V.........| 00000080 2a 62 38 56 81 00 81 00 81 00 ac 00 1b 2a 62 38 |*b8V.........*b8| 00000090 57 81 00 81 00 81 00 ac 00 1b 2a 62 35 38 59 1b |W.........*b58Y.| 000000a0 2a 62 38 56 81 00 81 00 81 00 ac 00 1b 2a 62 31 |*b8V.........*b1| 000000b0 36 56 fb 00 00 01 81 00 81 00 81 00 bb 00 00 20 |6V............. | 000000c0 fa 00 1b 2a 62 31 36 56 fb 00 00 04 81 00 81 00 |...*b16V........| 000000d0 81 00 bb 00 00 40 fa 00 1b 2a 62 31 36 57 fb 00 |.....@...*b16W..| 000000e0 00 02 81 00 81 00 81 00 bb 00 00 90 fa 00 1b 2a |...............*| Regards > Please try using the HP Color Inkjet Printer CP1700 driver.

Hi You are right, the machine is not crashed. It simply waits for something until a time out. The lan connection looks like to be a Q&D adaptor to the USB one not capable to answer to the web admin queries if a job is running. I also confused the left led on the contro panel. It is not a bleutooth (or other) connection for a smartphone. It is the ePrint system. It can not work as the firewall does not allow any connection other than the inside computers. The dump is the hexdump -C ouput without any transformation. I expected the problem is a file wrongly compressed. In fact the notepad windows structure is the same with some metadata. They both contain series of esc-$26- $6b or $6c for the header and esc-$2a the the body. End of the week, I am going to write a small ython utility to dump the hex while formating one line per esc séquence. It will be more easy to compare the good and the bad file and post the text output somewhere Regards |
