Last night I started work on a printer simulator. Basically, it's an escp2 to pnm translator. It's basically along the lines of parse-escp2, except in C and producing output which can be viewed on screen. The resulting files will be huge, frankly, but this isn't really an end user tool. I think it could be useful for sanity checking driver output and also for testing new dithering algorithms. Of course, it wouldn't be a comprehensive or accurate test, but it should pick up major screwups. It's also handy if you don't actually have the printer around. I expect to have it ready within a day or two, barring unforeseen circumstances, but so far I have not been able to access the repository except as an anonymous user. Anyone else seen this problem? scribe% cvs -z3 -ds...@cv...:/cvsroot/gimp-print co print sh...@cv...'s password: cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `' from cvs server cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `Welcome to cvs1.sourceforge.net' from cvs server cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `' from cvs server cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `This is a restricted Shell Account' from cvs server cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `You cannot execute anything here.' from cvs server cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `' from cvs server cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) I'm using OpenSsh, if that makes a difference.
