ghostScript on HPUX 10.20 for RIP ps->pcl3

[peter demus]

Hello !

I want to print postScript on DesignJet 500.

i do need GhostScript to raster the PS to HPPCL3-GUI, i think. where can i get the binary of GhostScript 6/7 for HPUX 10.20.

i only found ghostScript for hpux11 for itanium in the hp sw porting center . have only hpux10.20 to test it

has anyone setup ghostscript succesfully to print ps on DNJ500 ?? how would be the performance and quality ??

thanks peter

Unless someone has it archived somewhere, you are going to have to build it yourself, or upgrade your OS to 11i.

http://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ghostscript/

of course you are going to need these to build it:
gcc python tcltk make

and these to run it:
bison flex gcc gettext jpeg libiconv libpng m4 make tiff zlib

look for instructions and other info here: http://hpux.ee.ualberta.ca/hppd/hpux/PostScript/ghostscript-7.07b/

Hello,

You may want to look at the open source software available via the DSPP. There are a few 10.20 packages around on it. Ghostscript may not be available there for 10.20 but one/many/all of the constituent parts may be. Or follow this link:
