Driver Availability
The HPPJ series of drivers are used for output to PaintJet printers and are only available under Linux, UNIX and OpenVMS. To direct graphics to this type of device under Windows, the standard printer dialog is accessed by using one of the printer routines in the gMwin driver; gMwinp, gMwindp, gMwinpp (see gMwinp) or in the gWogl driver; gWoglp, gWogldp, gWoglpp (see gWoglp).
Colour
On monochrome printers, 16 dithered greys can be obtained. On the colour printers, colours can be defined using gDefineRGB().
When printing using the gDj550c() nomination, the black ink may bleed into the colour ink due to differing chemical compositions of the inks. Two solutions are to use special glossy HP paper or switch to using the gDj500c() nomination which only uses 1 cartridge (the black will then appear as a dark green colour!)
Formfeed at End of Output
The following configuration setting can be made to suppress the formfeed at gCloseDevice():
HPPJNOFEED=YES
Suppresses the formfeed character sent at gCloseDevice() for use when form feed is already sent by the print spooler.
