Hi,

I'm Running Solaris 9, mozilla 1.6 and xprint 009.  Printing from 
mozilla shows up on about a 2 inch square area on an us-letter printer. 

Printer is a HP PhotoSmart 7660 usb connected to a RedHat 9 box and 
using CUPS.  Printing from all other applications (OpenOffice, Acrobat) 
is fine.  Printing from gimp doesn't work at all!

Anyway, looked over faq and tried to change the xprint configuration 
files to show this printer properly.  Here are my changes ...


XPrinters

Added the following:

Augment_Printer_List %none%
Printer HPPS7660C

models

copied HPDJ1600C to HPPS7660C and made the following changes to 
model-config:
HPPS7660C.printer-model: "Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 1600C"

    {ledger            FALSE {6.35 273.05 6.35 425.45}}\
    {b                FALSE {6.35 273.05 6.35 425.45}}\

    {hp-japanese-doublepostcard FALSE {6    142       6    194   }}\
}

In attributes changed the following:

HPPS7660C.xp-model-identifier: HPPS7660C
HPPS7660C.xp-ddx-identifier: XP-POSTSCRIPT
HPPS7660C.document-formats-ready: { PostScript 2 }

*descriptor: HP PhotSmart 7660 CUPS connected to Friski
*dt-pdm-command: dtpdm

in document changed the following:
HPPS7660C.content-orientation: portrait
HPPS7660C.copy-count: 1
HPPS7660C.default-medium: na-letter
HPPS7660C.default-printer-resolution: 1200
HPPS7660C.document-format: {Postscript 2}
HPPS7660C.plex: simplex

restarted xprint and logged out/in and ...

ran the hello world test script and got:

l-dante at cocoa:print: /opt/GISWxprint/bin/xphelloworld -v -printargs 
resolution=600
Using printer 'friski at cocoa:33'
starting job.
start page.
end page.
end job.

NO OUTPUT now!

XPLSPRINTERS shows ...

l-dante at cocoa:print: /opt/GISWxprint/bin/xplsprinters
printer: friski at cocoa:33
printer: _default at cocoa:33
printer: xp_ps_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs at cocoa:33

What am I missing?

BTW, I had this working with my old printer configured prior to running 
xprint.  Then bought a new printer, but kept the CUPS configuration.

Thanks,
Dante
