Description Salvatore Stanzione 2009-03-20 15:05:35 UTC
Converting to pdf a pcl file generated by gsview 4.9 pjxl300 driver, does not
work properly.
The same file was successfully managed by ghostpcl ver 1.50, but not by 1.51 1.52
1.53 1.54 versions.

Generated with -PPCLC option, with -PPCL5 option the conversion is correct
but in b/w.
With then 1.50 release was not necessary include the personality option and the

conversion was correct (in color)

As a workaround you can use ./pcl6 -r300 -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=out.ps
ERRPCL.PCL then distill out.ps to pdf using ghostscript.  Other than that it
will have to wait for the pdfwrite expert who is rather busy lately.

Just to clarify, I was able to reproduce your "ERRCOVERTED.PDF" as follows:

pcl6 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=ERRCOVERTED.PDF ERRPCL.PCL
