将自定义页面大小添加到.ppd的最简单方法是什么？

I would like to add custom page sizes to my printer's .ppd (PostScript printer definition) file. What do I have to add to get a new page size working properly?

我想将自定义页面大小添加到我的打印机的.ppd(PostScript打印机定义)文件中。我需要添加什么才能使新页面大小正常工作?

You have to add values for each additional page size at 4 different places:

您必须在4个不同的位置为每个额外的页面大小添加值:

1. for PageSize,
2. for PageRegion,
3. for ImageableArea and

对于ImageableArea和

4. for PaperDimension

Best, you take one PPD and search for sections enclosed in these keywords

最好,你拿一个PPD并搜索这些关键字中包含的部分

*OpenUI *PaperSize: PickOne
....
*CloseUI *PaperSize

.

*OpenUI *PageSize: PickOne
....
*CloseUI *PageSize

and for the sections starting with

以及以。开头的部分

*DefaultImageableArea: ...

.

*DefaultPaperDimension: ...

Use the lines you find in there as templates for your new entries. Note, that dimensions are given in PostScript points (where 72pt == 1inch ~= 2.54cm).

使用您在其中找到的行作为新条目的模板。请注意,尺寸在PostScript点中给出(其中72pt == 1inch~ = 2.54cm)。

Caveats:

1. Add your new lines at each of the 4 places in the PPD.

在PPD中的4个位置中的每个位置添加新行。

2. Make sure you use uniq names for your new media sizes.

确保为新媒体大小使用uniq名称。

3. Make sure you don't have any syntax errors in your PPD.

确保PPD中没有任何语法错误。

4. Once you're done (or while you're at editing it), check your PPD with the cupstestppd utility (available on Linux and on Mac OS X).

完成后(或在编辑时),使用cupstestppd实用程序检查PPD(在Linux和Mac OS X上可用)。

Update

Regarding testing the PPD with cupstestppd:

关于使用cupstestppd测试PPD:

By default, this will report errors as **FAIL** even if it finds some "not-so-important" syntax issues (PPD string translations, filters, UIConstraints, profiles, media sizes). You can relax these strict checks a bit and use -W all in order to report all these as warnings only, not as errors:

默认情况下,即使发现一些“不那么重要”的语法问题(PPD字符串转换,过滤器,UIConstraints,配置文件,媒体大小),这也会将错误报告为** FAIL **。您可以稍微放松一下这些严格的检查并使用-W all来报告所有这些仅作为警告,而不是错误:

cupstestppd -W all /path/to/PPDfile.ppd

If this returns lines saying WARN size ... you should pay close attention to them and make sure you fix the PPD.

如果这返回说明WARN大小的行...你应该密切关注它们并确保修复PPD。

I have HP LaserJet 1200. The PPD file provided by the Foomatic/pxlmono driver lacks some standard paper sizes. I updated it with the following statements:

I have a Samsung printer so I downloaded the source code to the SpliX drivers. The driver source includes a Makefile to compile .ppd from sources that list the available page sizes much more succinctly. Now that missing paper size shows up in the print dialog's options.

我有一台三星打印机,所以我将源代码下载到SpliX驱动程序。驱动程序源包含一个Makefile,用于从源列表中编译.ppd,这些源列出了更简洁的列表可用页面大小。现在缺少的纸张尺寸显示在打印对话框的选项中。

(That did not solve my problem printing onto small paper. My real problem with custom paper sizes likely has something to do with the way applications talk to cups and the switch from .ps to .pdf as the preferred page input to cups in Ubuntu 9.04...)

(这并没有解决我在打印到小纸张上的问题。我的自定义纸张尺寸的真正问题可能与应用程序与杯子的交互方式以及从.ps到.pdf的切换作为Ubuntu 9.04中的首选页面输入有关...)
