Hi

I am tring to configure my printer to print postscript files, but I have
some problems and some questions.

My system configuration:

OS : FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE
Printer:HP laserjet series II

I edited a filter to resolve the CR/LF and form feed problems
and I configured /etc/printcap to use this filter .
With this configuration I have no problem to print ASCII files.

Then I install ghostscript (as my priinter is not a postscript one) to
translate ps or pdf file , and I use gs with the driver "laserjet" (the
only one that works with my printer).
This configuration works, but when I try to print with the line command 
/usr/local/bin/gs -sDEVICE=laserjet -sOutputFile=\|lpr quickguide.pdf
after some messsages from gs, I obtain 

lpr:  : copy file is too large
Broken pipe


The result is that only some pages of the document (that is only 500k) are
printed.


Can someone help me?


Fabrizio
