Enable logging in /etc/printcap :lf=/var/log/myprinter.log: You will see the following error message: Error: /invalidfileaccess in --.outputpage-- Operand stack: 1 true Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval- - 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- fa lse 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringva l-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- 0 4 %oparray_p op --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1059/1123(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:75/200(L)-- --dict:10 6/300(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 45 GNU Ghostscript 7.07: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 >Fix: The following line in /etc/fstab fdescfs /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0 and a mount /dev/fd made my printer work. Furthermore I'd like to add that I had to remove the following line from the ifhp example filter: printf "\033&k2G" || exit 2 (I am using an Epson Stylus Color 740 via the stcolor driver, GNU Ghostscript 7.07). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
