Convert to PCL

[rangelmp]

Hi, I try to convert a jpg color image to PCL using:

Code: Select all

convert img.jpg img.pcl
convert img.jpg -colorspace gray imgGray.pcl
convert img.jpg -monochrome imgMono.pcl

All works like a charm to my lexmark and HP printer, but dosen't work to Canon ir5000.

When i send a monochrome pcl file to canon the print invert the colors (black/white).
If I send a color pcl or a color gray pcl file the Canon ir 5000 print a blakc square.

I thinks it's about PCL version, can i change the pcl version when convert a file?

If i send a

Someone have any tip?

Thanks

I know nothing about PCL other than to look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_Command_Language and http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#pcl

Do you have a recent version of ImageMagick? The latest is 6.5.4-10. Perhaps compression is causing a problem for your Canon printer. Try:

• convert img.jpg -compress none img.pcl

Thanks. But i think it's a printer problem i try:

Using monochrome and when i print inver the colors (black/white)

Code: Select all

convert image.png -monochrome image.pcl

Using compress dosen't change anything

Code: Select all

convert img.jpg -compress none img.pcl

If i print in HP or lexmark it's ok, just in canon i have problem so i think it's a printer problem.

Thanks.
