Hi, I have been wracking my brain tring to get my HP Deskjet 660 to print using freebsd 2.2.2. Many of you nice people have sent me your /etc/printcap files and also your filters and for that I am very appreciative. One problem still remains. With all this help, I can very nicely print any text file but whenever I come upon a postscript file ie netscape or a xv picture and ghostscripts is invoked I get about 7 pages of ghostscript error messages and nothing else. I figured maybe my problem is with ghostscript so I started reading all the ghostscript docs to try and understand how these filters are made. If I switch to the ghostscript directory of examples and type: gs -sDEVICE=cdj550 tiger.ps -sOutPutFile=\|lpr ghostscript initializes and then I get a line that says showpage press return. If I hit the return key I get the gs prompt but nothing prints out. Am I doing something wrong with the syntax or is something wrong with my ghostscript.I thought by the examples I read that this should pipe this picture to the printer. I can display the tiger picture on my consule with the command gs tiger.ps but cannot get it to print out. If there is anyone out there who can help or refer me to any other docs , I would appreciate it. I also read all the freebsd printer docs from the handbook. Thanks Alot -- Rick Knebel rknebel@mail.microserve.net
