I have an MD-1000 that I am trying to get working with the ALPS drivers in ghostscript. I have verified that the cable works, by using it to drive a deskjet, I am not getting any errors, but I don't get any output either. /usr/local/libexec/alpsfilter is pretty standard: exec 3>&1 1>&2 /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=md5k \ -sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3 - && exit 0 # /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=md5k \ -sOutputFile=- - && exit 0 (I tried -sDEVICE=md2k as well). There is no indication that the printer "sees" any data - no whirring, clanking or buzzing that these printers seem to go through. :-( Thanks, Bruce -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like bad!"
