# The success and failure items within a report are preferably sorted as

Printer: HP Deskjet 2500CM C2685A FW-8.3.6
Ghostscript version: 6.50
pcl3 version: 3.2
Remarks: Printer display remained "Processing Job" after job completed printing.
Tests were done on a Windows 2000 platform using AFPL Ghostscript
6.50 compiled with pcl3. This distribution is available at
http://www.denver.com.au/downloads/gs-pcl.

Name: Sergey Zaikov

Printer: HP DesignJet 500 42", Engine F/W:A.02.01
Ghostscript version: AFPL, revision 704
pcl3 version: 3.3
Remarks: 1. Really needs gamma-correction.
2. I didn't try to print with 300dpi.
Success: gs -sDEVICE=pcl3 -sSubdevice=unspec -sPJLLanguage=PCL3GUI -dOnlyCRD \
-r600 -sColourModel=CMYK -dCMYLevels=4 -sPrintQuality=presentation\
-sMedium=plain -sIntensityRendering=Floyd-Steinberg \
-sOutputFile=levels-test.prn levels-test.ps
Remarks: -sIntensityRendering other then Floyd-Steinberg gives blank fields
from 0 to 17 at test with 43 levels.
-sIntensityRendering=halftone doesn't need gamma-correction,
but black fields from 0 to 27 are blank.
-dCMYLevels=2 leads to the insertion of broad white horizontal stripes
(height 13+/-0.5 mm) between parts of the page.

Printer: Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 850C, model C2145A, revision: 9.20 01/14/95
Ghostscript version: Aladdin ghostscript 6.01
pcl3 version: pre-3.0
Remarks: All tests were made with levels-test.ps. I have made no remarks on
recognizable halftoning problems except where the result was seriously wrong.
This applies also to the classification as success or failure.
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r75.
This resolution is too small to be useful.
Failure: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r150.
In the 43-levels test for black, fields 4 and 5 became white again (non-
monotonic behaviour). The same gaps appear with the other bands.
This is apparently a ghostscript problem, see the following test.
The behaviour is the same in GNU ghostscript 5.50.
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r150 -dNoHalftoning
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r300
Failure: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r300 -dBlackLevels=4.
In the black band of the 43-levels test, fields 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 22, 24,
26, 28, and 30 have white gaps on the right. Similar gaps appear in the
other bands. This is a problem with gs 6.01 which does not appear with
GNU ghostscript 5.50. See also the following test.
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r300 -dBlackLevels=4 -dNoHalftoning
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r600
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r75 -sColourModel=CMY.
This resolution is too small to be useful.
Composite black is mapped to true black by the printer.
Failure: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r150 -sColourModel=CMY.
Composite black is mapped to true black by the printer.
In the 43-levels test for black, fields 4 and 5 became white again (non-
monotonic behaviour).
This is apparently a ghostscript problem, see the following test.
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r150 -sColourModel=CMY -dNoHalftoning.

Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r300 -sColourModel=CMY.
Composite black is mapped to true black by the printer.
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r75 -sColourModel=CMYK.
This resolution is too small to be useful.
Failure: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r150 -sColourModel=CMYK.
In the 43-levels test for black, fields 4 and 5 became white again (non-
monotonic behaviour). The three CMY bands show a diminished intensity in the
same fields, though not quite as obvious.
This is apparently a ghostscript problem, see the following test.
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r150 -sColourModel=CMYK -dNoHalftoning
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r300 -sColourModel=CMYK
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r300 -sColourModel=CMYK -dBlackLevels=4
-dCMYLevels=3.
The CMY colorants are far too saturated (I didn't override the transfer
functions).
Success: -sDEVICE=hpdj850c -r300 -sColourModel=CMYK -dBlackLevels=4
-dCMYLevels=4.
The CMY colorants are far too saturated (again, no transfer functions).

FW Revision: BF410063
PCL Default Symbol Set: 341
Ghostscript version: 6.50
pcl3 version: 3.0.2
Media configuration file: none used
Remarks: Three series of test were made:
- monochrome support
- colours support
- duplex support
In summary:
Different X and Y resolutions (600x300, 2400x1200) do not
seem to work.
The combination color/normal/600 dpi does not seem to work.
Some options must be avoided for some modes to work correctly
Duplex settings seem to work fine in all modes

Ghostscript version: 6.30
pcl3 version: 3.0.1
pcl3opts: In colour: -r300 -dBlackLevels=4 -dCMYLevels=4, monochrome: -r600.
In both cases, -sPJLLanguage=PCL3GUI was also issued.
Remarks: The results can be summarized as follows:
1. Connection
Success:
a) no options
b) -sPJLLanguage=PCL3GUI -dOnlyCRD
The "-dOnlyCRD" is needed. Success only with Version >3.0.2.
c) -dSendNULs
No effect.
Failure:
a) -sPJLLanguage=PCL3GUI
non-uniformly distributed vertical black lines.
2. Compression
Success: all Compression methods work
a) no options
b) -dCompressionMethod=2
c) -dCompressionMethod=9
3. Media type
Success: all
a) no options
b) -sMedium=plain
4. Print Quality
Success: all
a) no options
b) -sPrintQuality=presentation
5. Resolution
Sucess:
a) -r300 : all
b) -r600 : Success with -sColourModel=Gray
Failure: all other
a) -r600 -sColourModel=CMYK
6. Colour Models and Levels
Success:
a) -sColourModel=Gray -dBlackLevels=2
b) -sColourModel=CMYK -dBlackLevels=2 -dCMYLevels=2
Failure: all other
a) -r300 -sColourModel=Gray -dBlackLevels=4
This test gave white gaps in parts of levels-test.ps: in the 43-levels
test, the gaps were on the right of some of the fields, in the
401-levels case, there were white vertical lines in 6 groups, the first
5 consisting of 19 lines each, the last of four. The distance between
the lines within a group was 2mm. Apart from the gaps, the intensity
increased monotonically.
Some of the corners were missing from the letters.
b) -r600 -sColourModel=Gray -dBlackLevels=3
non-monotonic intensity.
c) -r600 -sColourModel=Gray -dBlackLevels=4
non-monotonic intensity. Missing corners. Grouped vertical lines.
d) -r300 -sColourModel=CMYK -dBlackLevels=2 -dCMYLevels=4
Totally wrong colours.
e) -dBlackLevels=3 -dCMYLevels=2
Wrong colours: yellow becomes white, magenta yellow, and cyan magenta.
f) -dBlackLevels=4 -dCMYLevels=3
When gradually passing horizontally from one colour to the next
(e.g., red or green to black) in a vertical direction, there are
horizontal strips where one colorant is missing from the mix.
g) -dBlackLevels=4 -dCMYLevels=4
Sometimes missing colorant. Some corners are missing from letters.
7. Printer Model
Success:
a) unspec
b) hpdj1120c
Success: -sDEVICE=pcl3 -sSubdevice=unspec -r300
-sColourModel=Gray -dBlackLevels=2
Failure: -sPJLLanguage=PCL3GUI -sDEVICE=pcl3 -sSubdevice=unspec -r300

Black vertical stripes. But see test with pcl3 3.0.2 and using -dOnlyCRD.

When gradually passing from one colour to the next (e.g., red or green to

This option gives me full color with no defects.

a page feed error (blinking red) occurs.

Ghostscript version: GNU 6.53

Remarks: I have problems when printing multipage documents.
This is fixed using -dConfigureEveryPage=true (which I shall omit
in the Success and Failure lines).
Success: -sDEVICE=pcl3 -sSubdevice=unspec -r600 -sPrintQuality=normal
-sMedium=plain -sColorModel=Gray.
I get perfect output. Grayscaling seems to be correct.
There was an excess of black ink which was fixed preprocessing a file
with postscript command:
{0.3 exp} settransfer
Success: -sDEVICE=pcl3 -sSubdevice=unspec -r600 -sPrintQuality=normal
-sMedium=plain -sColorModel=CMY+K.
I get perfect output.
Failure: -sDEVICE=pcl3 -sSubdevice=unspec -r600x300 -sPrintQuality=normal
-sMedium=plain -sColorModel=Gray or CMY+K.
The output is Ok, but flat. What was printed in one page before gets
printed in half a page.
Failure: -sDEVICE=pcl3 -sSubdevice=unspec -r300 -sPrintQuality=normal
-sMedium=plain -sColorModel=Gray or CMY+K.
The output is partly readable but very overlapped.
Failure: -sDEVICE=pcl3 -sSubdevice=unspec -r600 -sPrintQuality=normal

CMYK mode seems not to work with my printer. Although I get perfectly clear
output the color disposition is not correct (I get blanks where there should
be color).
