The printer type is: a networked HP LaserJet 5M
Other programs like Netscape print fine to it.
I do not have a filter in place, is one really necessary if the rest of the
programs have been printing fine? (BTW, The same version of GV/Ghostview on
my RedHat 6 Linux partition prints fine without a filter: the same config as
my FreeBSD partition).
I haven't configured GV beyond installing it from /stand/sysinstall.
My printcap is as follows:
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=acturas.emwp.com:\
:rp=oper-02-ps:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
I have FreeBSD 3.3 RELEASE and GV ver. 3.5.8
Thanks for your help.
