Last year, I set up my old Okidata Microline 320 dot-matrix printer on
Plan 9 (text-only print, no postscript as I recall), but in the time
since then my old hard drive has failed and I've had to get a new
system set up. This time, I'd like to try getting it to print with gs
so I can have a few amenities.
It looks like I'll want to use the okiibm driver, so I put that in the
DRIVERS= section of /sys/src/cmd/gs/mkfile, ran mk fake-make and then
mk install. gs successfully built, but gs -h doesn't show okiibm
among the available devices. Have I missed a step here?
Thanks

I think I've solved the problem by changing the mkfile from:
src/plan9.mak: src/unixansi.mak /sys/src/cmd/gs/contrib9.mak
to
src/plan9.mak: src/unixansi.mak /sys/src/cmd/gs/contrib9.mak\
src/contrib.mak
in addition to adding okiibm to the DRIVERS section. Now 'gs -h'
includes okiibm, and a remotely-performed lp command has completed
without errors; when I get home at 6 I'll be able to see if it worked
or not.
