The `#!' has to be the 0th and 1st bytes... I flubbed that as I mouse-buffer cut-and-pasted. After that was resolved, there was a bug in the gs line. After the gs line was closer to what it should have been, I had my hp500 incorrectly named to the -sDEVICE=. ((Evidently, it's got to be "djet500".)) There are a lot of wonderful people out there, and quite a few are on this list. I figured out the last bug (-sDEVICE="djet500") myself. Kent Stewart helped me thru the first parts.
