I'm using an HP660c desk jet. Also tried enscript which I use on another machine with same result -the postscript code file is printed instead of the file sent to the printer. If anyone has a deskjet I'd be real interested in your printcap and ghostscript setup. Here's what I'm trying: gs -dNODISPLAY -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=cdj500 -sOutputFile=\|lpr -- $* I have the above in a script. The file spools to the queue but only prints Postscript code. The '-sNODISPLAY' option is necessary else gs errors- but I doubt that's the problem. var/log/lpd-errs has nothing to report.. enscript also spools to the queue but with the same result. Any deskjet users out there? -- David Jeffers -------------- mailto: jeffers@redrose.net ---------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
