What's in lpfilter? If it's the one below you're trying to double-print
the file. Input filters expect input on stdin and the stuff to send to
the printer on stdout.
I use this script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# PostScript to DeskJet 500 mono
/usr/local/bin/gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=deskjet -sOutputFile=- -
My printcap entry is so:
ps|DeskJet 540 PostScript:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ps:\
:sf:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/ps/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/ps/acct:\
:if=/usr/local/lib/psif:
