1. INSTALLING AND UPDATING

You can find the latest version of this program at:

http://www.hpgs.cjb.net

        Extract the compressed file in a directory and go to the hpgs direc-
        tory:

                $tar xvzf hpgs-X.XX
                $cd hpgs-X.XX

                (X.XX is the version)

        Before installing,  check if the GhostScript is in the  ``/usr/bin''
        directory:

                $which gs
                /usr/bin/gs

        If it is in another directory, modify the hpgs.c and Makefile files,
        adding the correct directory.

        After, type:

                $make

        This will make the hpgs binary.

        ***********************************
        ** PLEASE NOTE!!! PLEASE NOTE!!! **
        ***********************************

        hpgs needs to be installed as ``gs''. The original  ``gs''  needs to
        be named as ``gs-run'', both in the ``/usr/bin'' directory.

        If this is the first time you instal hpgs, type, as root:

                #make really-install

        If you have an old version of hpgs,  you might have a ``gs.default''
        file in ``/usr/bin''. This is your GhostScript ``gs''. You will need
        to remove the  ``/usr/bin/gs''  file and  rename the  ``gs.default''
        to ``gs'' before installing. Another way is to type, as root:

                #make update

        I  used  really-instal instead  just install because  if someone who
        wants to update the system runs the install script, he/she  will
        not be able to run the hpgs because the old hpgs will  be renamed to
        ``gs-run'' and the  new hpgs  will  call the  old hpgs  instead  the
        ``gs'' command.

2. USING

        In the printtool,  install you printer using the  ``HP DeskJet 550C/
        560C/6xxC series'' filter (driver).

        To enable the EconoMode printing,  set the  ``Extra GS Options''  to
        ``-dDepletion=-1''. (You  can  set the print quality  by  seting the
        -dDepletion to another value).

        You can do something like this  with  linuxconf,  but it will not be
        described here.
