Printing scientific papers (TeX/LaTeX with mathematical symbols and fonts) on the HP Laserjet 1020 in OS X.5

Posted 61 days ago in by Aron Ahmadia, comments closed.

The loss of correct printing from my HP Laserjet 1020 was among several of the displeasures I experienced upon upgrading to Leopard. I can complain no longer, though, due to the excellent foo2zjs printer driver and a concise set of instructions for getting it installed by Rick Richardson. I hope some other cheap graduate student laser printer mac heads also find their way over there. (Not too cheap, though, I did tip him $10 for his work)

Oh, and a big :P to Journler for removing the MetaWeblog API after I finally got it working with TextPattern.

Getting Journler to play well with TextPattern's XML-RPC MetaWeblog API

I was having difficulties getting Journler to export to this blog (it was complaining about being unable to parse the XML, thanks for the descriptive help message Journler!), and Google didn’t provide any useful information either. In a fit of random testing I pointed Journler to: http://aron.ahmadia.net/rpc/index.php instead of http://aron.ahmadia.net/rpc

I also added the following code to the beginning of public_html/rpc/TXP_RPCServer.php:

if (!isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA)){

$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents(‘php://input’);

}

I guess there is a bug in PHP that can be worked around by adding that code, though I can’t find the original piece of advice, since there are a lot of people angry with TextPattern XML-RPC out there right now.

Things appear to be basically working now, but if somebody can explain more of the whys I'd be interested
