[Omniprint-user] Omni Newbie

[Torsten <tor...@ep...>]

Hello,

I have a problem when using omni. Here is a description of my situation:

There is a server runnig SuSE 8.1 (Kernel 2.4.19). This machine already h=
osts=20
5 printers with cups (Laserprinters with and without postscript capabilit=
ies=20
and one OfficeJet). Everything is working fine.

Now I try to add an EPSON DFX-8000 printer. I installed the RPM version o=
f=20
OMNI (Omni-0.7.3-1.i386.rpm) and the package OmniEpson-cups-0.7.3-1.i386.=
rpm.

I installed one more printer using the following ppd file:=20
/usr/share/cups/model/foomatic/Epson/Epson-Epson_DFX_8000-omni-cups.ppd.g=
z

Now, I have got a funny behaviour:=20
* When an ESC/P File is printed (via Samba to CUPS) the printer works.
* When a postscript file is printed (directly) via CUPS the job stays for=
 a=20
few seconds in the queue and is then marked as completed. The printer, of=
=20
course, didn't do anything.

I use ESP Ghostscript 7.05.3. 'omni' is listed when I use  'gs -h'.

But when I try to issue a command like:
"gs -sDEVICE=3Domni -sDeviceManufacturer=3D"Epson" -sDeviceModel=3D"Epson=
 DFX-8000"=20
-dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sOutputFile=3D"test.gs" test.ps -c quit"

I get the following response:
