README

This directory contains a printcap file and some filter scripts suitable for use with the following Canon Bubblejet printers, as attached to a BSD system:

• Canon Bubblejet 200 (if-bj200)
• Canon Bubblejet BJC-800 (if-bjc800). I actually use this one with a BJC-1000, and it works fine.

To install the filter for the BJC 800:

1. Copy the scripts if.bjc800 and bjf-2up to some directory. I use /usr/local/site/lib/lpd, but that's not required. Link bjf-2up to bjf-landscape (symlink or hard link, it doesn't matter).
2. In bjf-2up, edit the path to if.bjc800 (i.e., the FILTER variable assignment) to correspond to the directory where you installed the scripts.
3. Edit the printcap file so that the if= entries properly correspond to the full paths of the scripts you just installed.
4. Copy printcap to /etc/printcap.
5. Install the a2ps port (or package) if you want to use the 2up or landscape printer entries; the bjf-2up and bjf-landscape scripts depend on a2ps.

Installation for the BJ-200 is similar.

DISCLAIMER: These scripts work for me, but they are unsupported. If they don't work for you, be prepared to hack around with them a bit.
