Suggested solutions

The machine does not print.

Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and switch to the Printers tab
in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available machines. Make sure that your machine is displayed
on the list. If not, open Add new printer wizard to set up your device.

Check if the machine is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the printers list. Look at the
description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains Stopped string, press the Start button. After that normal
operation of the machine should be restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some problems in printing
occurred.

Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command line parameter,
then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command line parameter
in the command item.

recent Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript.com.
