I have modified the “HPLJ4family” [or “HPDJ1600C” etc.] printer model to work with my PostScript printer, but when I print I get empty places where some text should be – what am I doing wrong here ?
The “HPLJ4family” and “HPDJ1600C” models are PCL-only, check the model-config spec (${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/models/${MODEL_NAME}/model-config) – if the “xp-ddx-identifier” attribute says something with “PCL” (like “XP-PCL-MONO” etc.) in the value string then this model-config is for the PCL-DDX only (e.g. their PMF fonts do not supply the neccesary information (e.g. the “_ADOBE_POSTSCRIPT_FONTNAME” chunk is missing; they only provide the “PCL_FONT_NAME” chunk) nor are these fonts accessible via the PostScript-support in these printers. A solution is to use the “PSdefault” model instead (and/or create your customized own version of this model) – or look if there is a model-config beginning with the same name and ending with “PS” (e.g. “HPLJ4family-PS”).
