GhostScript 6.01 - HP 850 C Binaries for OS/2

Who of us HP DeskJet owners wasn't annoyed by the lausy printing quality of the OMNI DeskJet drivers (HP DeskJet 670, 690, 855, 870, 1100, 890, 1600, 880)? But there is a solution for our quality problem. Uli Wortmann  was so kind to write a HP Deskjet driver for GhostScript. This driver even made it into the GhostScript scource distribution. Unfortunately it is missing in the compiled OS/2-version of GhostScript. Therefore I took the scources activated the HP Deskjet support in the makefile and made a new built with EMX and of course the IBM Toolkit. You can find the result (the binaries) on this webpage!
You need a complete  GhostScript 6.01 und GSView installation to use the binaries. The binaries and GhostScript are subject of the Aladdin Lizenz which you can find in the archives.
Because of  limited webspace I am  only able to offer the binaries (EXE und DLL) and not the komplete GhostScript suite.
In the ZIP files you can find the following files which belong into the corresponding directores.
The file PRINTER.INI is a GSView printer list which is adjusted for the use with HP Deskjet printers!
You have to reconfigure GSView to use this list (Menu, Option, Configuration).

x:\gstools\gs6.01\bin
gsdll2.dll
gsos2.exe
gspmdrv.exe

x:\gstools\gsview
printer.ini

Here are the archives with the binaries:
