I can use my network printer(HP LaserJet 5000) well in redhat 8, but can't use it in cadence. So I enter /cadence/tools/plot/bin and run ./plotconfig, but I cannot find the model of my printer. How do I install my printer in cadence? Ask for your help!
I have done the next:
1. Put in my .cdsplotinit file the information
My_printer|PostScript1:\
:manufacturer=Adobe: \
:type=postscript1: \
:maximumPages#1: \
:resolution#600: \ aperSize="A4" 4960 7015: \ aperSize="A3" 7015 9920:
2. In my RH8.0 OS added printer configuration:
Queue Name = any - your choise
Queue Type = JetDirect Printer
Printer IP = your printer IP
Port=9100
Driver=any postscript driver
3. Restarted lpd deamon.
4. Printed any cadence graphics to postscript file 1.ps.
5. Sent it to printer lp -d your_printer_name 1.ps
Just a question... any idea on how to setup all this for a non-networked, local printer. I have a LaserJet 1020 successfully installed in CentOS 3 (printing queue works fine for all other programs). What would the lp command be for sending the ps file to the printer? Is there a way of tweaking the .cdsplotinit in order to print directly to this non-networked printer?
