Hello-I have installed 3.2 from the cdrom set along with ghostscrit-5.10
and its dependencies so as to be able to print ghostscript files on my
deskjet 520. I send the file to the spooler via lpr -Ppsjet command. It
does get to the spooler and then what gets out of my printer is garbage.
I don't know how else to describe it, also the printing stops w/in the
first 5 lines of an 8x10 sheet of paper and then cycles to another page.
Below is the section from my printcap that covers printimng with GS and
below that is the single line of the filter I use. I am baffled as both
the printcap and filter print flawlessly on 2.2.8. I am getting
a little desparate as my work (I am self-employed) is dependant
on quality document printing and up until now I have always gotten
just that-Any suggestions, pointed ommissions and help will be VERY
much appreciated.
