Topicbox-Message-UUID: c09483b2-ead5-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Hello 9fans I'm currently trying to get my HP Deskjet 500 (/dev/lptr1data) working in native Plan 9. Using 'lp -d hpdeskjet file' the printer works basically; it takes in a sheet and starts printing. But it prints only weird symbols and mishandles newlines etc.. I did a little research and found that there is a 'djet500' driver (see /sys/src/cmd/gs/src/gdevdjet.c) available for gs but it is not included in the stock gs binary according to the output of 'gs -?'. I added the djet500 driver to /sys/src/cmd/gs/mkfile and run 'mk fake-make' and then 'mk install' as described in the mkfile. It builds with no error messages but the output of the freshly compiled 'gs -?' still doesn't show the new djet500 driver. What is the right/working procedure to add drivers to gs? Suggestions on how to solve this are very welcome. Best regards, F. Caulier
