print image files to variety printer models
Hi,

I am currently working on a windows platform (2000 and XP) and was wondering if there are today solutions for the task I have.

I need to print image files onto a variety of inkjet printer models, most epson non-postscript. Some of the models I know but new models are added almost every week. De windows printer drivers coming with those printers do not allowe me to do what I want and therefore in most cases useless for my purposes.

The only way I know to bypass this window drivers is the use of Rip's who are not quit inexpensive and also do not support all the printers I need to print to.

Now I am thinking if Ghostscript would be a generic solution what can handle this task. Is there anyone who knows enough from this free to use postscript program who can point me in the right direction? Even if I would prefer to keep the windows platform I am not unwilling to change to unix or linux if this is absolutely a must. Again, the files I need to the printers are solely image or pdf files.

Any feedback is highly appreciated

print.ini

print.ini(5)							File Formats Manual						      print.ini(5)

NAME

       print.ini -- survex printer settings

Description
       The print.ini file contains printer descriptions for the Survex printer drivers.

   File Format
       The  format  of the print.ini file is similar to the .ini files used on Microsoft Windows.  The file is divided into sections, each section
       corresponding to a separate printer description.  A section starts with a section name in square brackets,  e.g.  aven's  built-in  printer
       support uses the aven section:

       [aven]

       followed by some options of the form <option>=<setting>, e.g.:

       font_size_labels=6

       In the supplied print.ini each option is preceded by a comment (indicated by a semicolon ';') briefly explaining the option.

Customising Printer Settings
       If you wish to change the size of the font used for labels or the colours used you need to override some of the setting in print.ini.

       You  shouldn't  modify  the master print.ini (located in /usr/share/survex on Unix, or in the same directory as the Survex program files on
       other systems), or your changes will be overwritten by upgrades.  Instead create:

	  o  /etc/survex/print.ini (Unix - system-wide settings)

	  o  ~/.survex/print.ini (Unix - per user settings)

	  o  myprint.ini in the directory where Survex is installed (other platforms)

       If one of these files contains a setting then aven will use it instead of the setting in the master print.ini.  Any settings not  specified
       will still fall back to the values in print.ini.
