Can you provide any words of wisdom? Is your input filter specified correctly in printcap? Have you kill -HUP'd lpd? Test your filter by running it from the command line: cat file_to_print | /path/to/filter > file If your script is erroring you'll see it on the console or in the output file. Sounds like you're not running gs properly.
