I send the file to the spooler via lpr -Ppsjet command. It does get to the spooler and then what gets out of my printer is garbage. I don't know how else to describe it, also the printing stops w/in the first 5 lines of an 8x10 sheet of paper and then cycles to another page. Below is the section from my printcap that covers printimng with GS and below that is the single line of the filter I use. I am baffled as both the printcap and filter print flawlessly on 2.2.8. I am getting a little desparate as my work (I am self-employed) is dependant on quality document printing and up until now I have always gotten just that-Any suggestions, pointed ommissions and help will be VERY much appreciated. # HP DeskJet 520 (Postscript) psjet|postscript_inkjet: \ :lp=/dev/lp1: \ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/psjet: \ :if=/usr/local/bin/psjetfilter: \ :mx#0: \ :sh psjetfilter #!/bin/sh #This file by Todd Burgess (tburgess@uoquelph.ca) /usr/local/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=hpdj -sOutputFile=- - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
