| artifexirc-bot | <Robin_Watts> We would, I suspect, be happy to have discord channels on this server for stuff like cups. | 00:04.45 |
| | <Robin_Watts> But I don't know of any irc channels, and we're unlikely to return to irc other than by bridging channels now - and even that is put at risk everytime someone spams the channel. | 00:05.28 |
| | <chrisl> Frankly, I'm surprised OpenPrinting doesn't have their own Discord server by this stage | 08:14.15 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> Hi- | 12:50.48 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> Been looking at something. | 12:50.57 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> https://unifoundry.com/retro/index.html | 12:51.07 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> These are some Postscript3 fonts for dot-matrix line printers 😉 | 12:51.43 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> However the specfic functionality I was needing was the 8/9 bit image mode , which some ancient software I had generates output in 🙂 | 12:52.42 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/epson-esc-p2-printer-emulation-tools-4175552916/ There was a tool that conveted EscP2 to PS | 12:55.36 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> Also - https://github.com/RWAP/PrinterToPDF | 12:57.54 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> If anyone was interested, presumably that code to be examined to determine if there's a way to convert it directly as a layer in GhostPDL | 12:59.06 |
| | <Robin_Watts> Probably easiest to just run it as a filter and feed the results to gpdl. | 13:00.48 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> That's kind of where I was right now | 13:01.25 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> I also found a propriatery tool - https://stethos.com/en/elp | 13:04.38 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> 😦 | 13:04.40 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> I can't use that for various reasons. | 13:04.55 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> It seems much of the effort on gettign an Esc/P emulator is being done in retro-emulation communities 🙂 | 13:08.21 |
| | <ShakespeareFan00> It seems much of the 'free-software' effort on gettign an Esc/P emulator is being done in retro-emulation communities 🙂 | 13:08.46 |
| | <enyc> ShakespeareFan00: I recall an office system that only worked with Canon CAPSL ... that was fun | 15:40.56 |
| | <enyc> ... which is an interesting history, Canon engine licensing with HP for HP Laserjet at the time meant that Canon could not use PCL, so they produced their own CAPSL with very helpful manuals and so-on. | 15:41.40 |
| | <mrcoffee> Hi | 19:48.38 |
| | <mrcoffee> I need to reduce a pdf size without losing much quality.. | 19:48.49 |
| | <mrcoffee> GOt any ghostscript command? | 19:48.55 |
| | <RayJohnston> That depends on the PDF. If you | 19:55.30 |
| | <RayJohnston> That depends on the PDF. If it is already compressed, and there aren't images, very little can be done I expect. Without seeing a sample file, I can't help | 19:57.18 |
