Could someone provide chapter and verse on where to find the related files please? Also, is there a web site that I could look at to find out more about Ghostscript? dg ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: printers Author: Konrad Heuer at Internet Date: 11/16/98 1:37 PM On Mon, 16 Nov 1998, Marius Bendiksen wrote: > Do I have to get a postscript printer to print graphics with FreeBSD? No. If you install Ghostscript (packages and ports collection) you can use it as a driver to convert PostScript into a lot of printer specific formats. For example, my printer at home is an old Epson-compatible matrix printer (9 pins) which does well with Ghostscript. Please look into the section about printing in the handbook to get details about filter scripts using Ghostscript.
