printing - 将自定义页面大小添加到 .ppd 的最简单方法是什么？

Question

我想将自定义页面大小添加到我的打印机的 .ppd（PostScript 打印机定义）文件中。我必须添加什么才能使新的页面大小正常工作？

Answer 1

您必须在 4 个不同的位置为每个额外的页面大小添加值：

1. 对于PageSize,
2. 对于PageRegion,
3. 对于ImageableArea和
4. 为了PaperDimension

最好，您使用一个 PPD 并搜索包含在这些关键字中的部分

*OpenUI *PaperSize: PickOne
....
*CloseUI *PaperSize

.

*OpenUI *PageSize: PickOne
....
*CloseUI *PageSize

对于以

*DefaultImageableArea: ...

.

*DefaultPaperDimension: ...

使用您在其中找到的行作为新条目的模板。请注意，尺寸以 PostScript 点数给出（其中 72pt == 1inch ~= 2.54cm）。

注意事项：

1. 在 PPD 的 4 个位置中的每个位置添加新行。
2. 确保为新的介质尺寸使用 uniq 名称。
3. 确保您的 PPD 中没有任何语法错误。
4. 完成后（或在编辑时），使用实用程序检查您的 PPD cupstestppd（在 Linux 和 Mac OS X 上可用）。

更新

关于使用以下方法测试 PPD cupstestppd：

默认情况下，**FAIL**即使发现一些“不那么重要”的语法问题（PPD 字符串翻译、过滤器、UIConstraints、配置文件、媒体大小），它也会报告错误。您可以稍微放宽这些严格检查并使用-W all以将所有这些仅报告为警告，而不是错误：

cupstestppd -W all /path/to/PPDfile.ppd

如果这返回行说WARN size ...您应该密切注意它们并确保修复 PPD。

我有 HP LaserJet 1200。Foomatic/pxlmono 驱动程序提供的 PPD 文件缺少一些标准纸张尺寸。我用以下语句更新了它：

Answer 3

如果您尝试在标准文档长度之外打印，例如打印到卷筒上。

打开终端，或命令外壳，或可选的 Windows bash 提示符

cd ..

cd ..

cd etc

cd cups

cd ppd

先安装 vim 或使用 nano(程序文件编辑器) (vim 有导师只需键入 vimtutor)

sudo vim Eastman_Kodak_Company_KODAK_ESP_3200_Series_AiO.ppd

滚动到最大高度宽度和自定义页面参数

i插入 ESC退出插入模式 :wq!保存和退出文件

请注意，宽度参数将被命名或按宽度、高度的顺序命名。最大宽度参数应保持不变，否则会使打印机对齐关闭，但您可以将长度设置为我认为的任何值。然后您的打印机将不会在页面设置中创建长度边界，并允许您连续循环打印而没有边距。确保根据您的页面布局剪裁纸张长度，否则它只会吐出剩余的纸卷。这是我第一次尝试它，我不小心更改了我认为是 712 的宽度参数。

我有一台三星打印机，所以我将源代码下载到了 SpliX 驱动程序。驱动程序源包含一个 Makefile，用于从更简洁地列出可用页面大小的源中编译 .ppd。现在缺少的纸张尺寸显示在打印对话框的选项中。

（这并没有解决我在小纸上打印的问题。我对自定义纸张尺寸的真正问题可能与应用程序与杯子对话的方式以及从 .ps 切换到 .pdf 作为 Ubuntu 9.04 中杯子的首选页面输入的方式有关...)
