I guess it looks okay. I'm not really knowledgable about this. I ran test jobs with lpr -Pcdeskjet-letter-[insert type here]-[insert subtype here] filename but all it ever printed was Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in .setdevice Operand stack: --nostringval-- (not formatted that way,though) and then ejected the sheet. > What version of ghostscript are you using? > 4.0 or later is desirable for the fonts, if for no other reason. GNU 2.whatever, Aladdin 4.03 (I think). However, it won't print anything: ASCII, PS, you name it. > Does the deskjet 320 emulate a cdeskjet pretty well? Well, that was what the SETUP script advised.
