Please email me or this mailing list. First, check that your Ghostscript was compiled with the driver for your printer, which is escp2. 'gs -h' will typically list the available devices in your executable. If your compiled version of ghostscript doesn't support the escp2, you will probably have to compile a new version from source and include the escp2 driver. Second, install 'apsfilter' from the ports. It will configure a print queue for you that supports postscript on your printer. It is by far the easiest way to setup printers on FreeBSD. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?" Wes Peters Softweyr LLC http://www.xmission.com/~softweyr softweyr@xmission.com
