I have tried about 6 different printcap entries and filters submitted by you kind people on this list. I have upgraded to the newest ghostscript with all the needed accessory programs. My problem remains. I can print files fine. When I try to print postscript ie from xv or netscape I get about 6 pages 0f ghostscript error messages. The messages start like this GS<13>Error: /typecheck in --put-- OPERAND STACK: EXecution stack: Dictionary stack: Current allocation mode is local GS<13>GS<13>ERROR: /syntaxerror in -file- These type of messages go on then for about 7-8 pages. This is extremely frustrating. If anyone can make sense of this or reccomend another way to print then GS I would be extremely grateful. I like freebsd better than linux but if I cannot print with it it does me no good. Thanks Alot -- Rick Knebel rknebel@mail.microserve.net
