I posted this about a week ago and got no response so I'm posting it one
more time with a better subject line.
Thanks,

Alladin GS 5.50 from ports
Following the handbook I set up a filter to use with lpd. But whenever I
print postscript it always appends a formfeed and an error message to the
job.
Error: /undefinedfilename in ( )
And it doesn't print another formfeed after this message.
Filter(epif):
--------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Read first two characters of the file
#
read first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ]; then
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=stcolor -sOutputFile=- - \
&& exit 0
else
echo "$first_line" && cat && printf "\f" && exit 0
fi
exit 2
--------------
But from the command line:
foobar% cat file.ps | gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=stcolor
-sOutputFile=- - \ > /dev/lpt0
Works just fine.
What could be the problem??
Thanks,
