NAME
       GSinterface - LP interface script for using ghostscript under lpsched

SYNOPSIS
       GSinterface [request-id] [user] [title] [copies] [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION
       This shell script is intended to be uses as an LP interface script on
       Solaris 2.6 and later systems.  It allows print queues to be configured
       under LP using Ghostscript to render for the printer.

       Configuration under lpsched is performed via the lpadmin(1M) command.

	    # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/... -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown \
		 -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface \
		 -o GS_DEVICE=(gs-device-type) \
		 [-o OutputFile=(file/device)] [-o PAPERSIZE=(size)] \
		 [-o RESOLUTION=XxY] [-o banner-type=(ascii|postscript)] \
		 [-o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=... -sIjsParams=..."]

       Valid values for the GS_DEVICE setting can be obtained from Ghostscript
       by running: "gs -h". This will dump  a  variety	of  information	 about
       Ghostscript's  usage  and  compile  time configuration.	The "Available
       devices:" section lists the formats that Ghostscript  will  render  to.
       You  will  need	to  match one of these formats to the format that your
       printer takes as input.

EXAMPLES
       To configure a Canon Bublejet 800c (NeWSprinter CL+) printer  connected
       to an ECP parallel port:

	    # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/ecpp0 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown \
		 -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface \
		 -o GS_DEVICE=bjc800
	    # accept printer
	    # enable printer

       To  configure  an  HP DeskJet 990 printer connected via a USB interface
       using IJS support:

	    # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/usb/lp1 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown \
		 -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface \
		 -o GS_DEVICE=ijs \
		 -o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=hpijs -sDeviceManufacturer=HEWLETT-PACKARD -sDeviceModel='DESKJET 990' -DIjsUseOutputFD"
	    # accept printer
	    # enable printer
