Re: GHOSTSCRIPT -> HLLIP -> HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

     Thankyou for your time, its tired and I am getting late...

     I have tried this a billion ways.  The documentation says that
the -sIjsserver=PATH is supposed to have the path to the hpijs
server, but 'hpijs' is installed NOWHERE on my system.

     I have cups installed fine, and it talks to the 'Officejet_Pro_8600' 
printer just fine in /etc/printcap.

     But the testgs file won't find the hpijs 'server' whatever
that means.  On your system its a binary in /usr/bin.  No such luck
here.

     I have recompliled HPLIP make distclean, ./configure, make and make 
install a few times, monitoring for the creation and installation of 
hpijs, it shows up nowhere except as a directory in /prnt in the souce 
code.

     I have also tried it with FD and outputfile=| lpr.cups to no avail.

     I do NOT want hplip to print, I just want ghostscript to render to a 
disk file.

     Running CentOS 7 latest, ghostscript 9.07 and HPLIP 3.18.x latest.

     Thanks  Homer
