NAME
       ijsgutenprint - Ghostscript driver for Gutenprint

SYNOPSIS
       gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=/usr/local/bin/ijsgutenprint
       -sDeviceManufacturer=vendor -sDeviceModel=name [ -dIjsUseOutputFD ]
       -sIjsParams=[ key1=value1,keyn=valuen... ] [ options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION
       ijsgutenprint provides Ghostscript with a Gutenprint driver, supporting
       all printers supported by libgutenprint.

       NOTE: ijsgutenprint should never be called directly.  Ghostscript will
       run it if the IjsServer parameter is set to IjsServer=ijsgutenprint
       when invoking the IJS driver.

       NOTE: The only supported method of running ijsgutenprint is via
       Foomatic.  Users running ghostscript directly will not be supported.
       The driver name used by Foomatic is gutenprint-ijs.5.2.

OPTIONS
       ijsgutenprint accepts the following Ghostscript IJS options.  The
       Gutenprint-specific options are not documented here.

       -dIjsUseOutputFD
              This option should be specified whenever output from Ghostscript
              will go to stdout or into a pipe.  It may be specified in all
              other cases, with only a slight performance degradation.

       -sIjsParams=Option1=Value1,Option2=Value2
              This parameter contains a single string containing a comma-
              separated list of sub-options.

       -sDeviceManufacturer=vendor -sDeviceModel=name
              This option must be supplied.  There is no default.  The IJS
              driver requires the vendor (it's part of the protocol), but the
              ijsgutenprint driver ignores it.

HISTORY
       The Ghostscript stp driver was originally written by Henryk Richter
       (buggs@comlab.uni-rostock.de), and was integrated into Gutenprint
       during the 3.1 development series.  Gutenprint (which was named Gimp-
       Print prior to release 5.0) itself was originally written by Michael
       Sweet <mike@easysw.com>, who released up to version 2.0; Robert Krawitz
       released version 3.0.  The Gutenprint development team
       (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net) now maintains the entire package.

       The IJS driver was originally written by Russell Lang, and incorporated
       into Gutenprint (known then as Gimp-Print) in early 2002.  This driver
       corresponds with the IJS protocol 0.32.

       The stp driver is no longer supported as of Gutenprint 5.0.
