Print PDF with HP Laser Jet 1020 #82

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I have two printers setup for jzebra, a zebra printer and hp laser jet 1020 
printer on my apple 10.6 machine.  The zebra printer prints shipping labels 
perfectly.  However, the hp 1020 will not print pdfs.  I am using the sample 
program that came with the applet.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  I followed the cups examples to set-up the raw printer called "hpPDF".
2.  After clicking the print button, the I get the print was a success.  But 
nothing printed.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected a pdf to be printed on my hp 1020 laser jet.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version jzebra: 1.4.3
apple 10.6
firefox 14.0.1

Please provide any additional information below.

Do I need to install an hp 1020 postscript print driver?

For PDF printing, set up the printer in CUPS as you would to print from 
OpenOffice, KWrite, AbiWord, etc.  You will need a PostScript compatible driver.

The tutorial for setting up printers haven't been updated since PostScript 
printing support was added, so they are only relevant for raw printing.

Please post back to confirm this fixes your issue.

Tres, I got it to work.  Here are my steps..

1)  HP does not have a print driver for 1020 so you can use HP LaserJet 1022, 
1.3.0.261
2)  Using CUPS, I added a printer called zebraPDF using the above print driver.
3)  I then made a class using the above added printer as the member.

I was attempting to make a raw printer for the zebraPDF instead of a postscript 
printer for zebraPDF.  My next challenge is to do this on a few windows 
machines.

Thank you,

Steve

Thanks for the update.  I'll update the printer tutorials to include a note 
about postScript printing then close bug report.

HP does not have a printer driver for the HP 1020 for the "MAC".  I did not 
specify that above clearly.
