Re: [Gimp-print-devel] was - P700 and P900 full channel support

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I have done print file pulls from the P900 driver here:

Attached is a screenshot of each print file’s settings with the same name as the .prn file. I’ve attempted to only change a single setting per print file to allow for a code Dif evaluation.

I think the black selection is going to be somehow activated by the media type on this printer (aka sending Velvet Fine Art media type code should print from the MK channel) but that is just a hunch.

I feel slightly discouraged that we can get anything from these files as it’s ESCP/R and not ESCP/2 but who knows. 

I’ll try and build a dummy Gutenprint driver out of the P800 xml next . . .

Best all,
Walker
