Please CC me on any replies. TIA. I'm trying to get my old HP Laserjet Series II to work with FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE. For straight text, e.g. lpr of rc.conf, it works as expected. When I try to print from Netscape (under enlightenment under Xfree86) I get raw postscript on the paper. (I know my old Laserjet does not understand Postscript.) Looking at the archives and the man pages, I believe I have to send my Postscript print through Ghostscript. (I have installed V5.50a.) Nothing I have found gives me a clue how to rewrite the print filter for the laserjet to preprocess postscript using Ghostscript. My 'vanilla' filter looks like this: #!/bin/sh printf "\033&k2G" && cat && printf "\033&l0H" && exit 0 exit 2 Any help would be appreciated. Cheers... -- Try not. Do or do not.
