this is a snippet of a simple print filter.
it work fine for me with many printers, however:

on a Epson FX-100, i always get 3 blank pages spit out
at the beginning of each job with, what looks like,
printer control codes, on the top line of each blank page.

[ ?3!!1?        ] top of page one ...
[ ??))9!!?3!!1? ] top of page two ...
[ ??? ??0 ??    ] top of page three ...

then, on the 4th page, the PS file comes out fine.

any suggestions on what to do?

i tried other gs drivers like okiibm, etc, but the
same thing keeps happening ...

#!/bin/sh

read line1

if   echo $line1 | grep -q %!

	then /usr/local/bin/gs \
	-q -sDEVICE=epson -r120x72 -dBATCH -sOutputFile=- - && exit 0
fi
exit 2
