I'm trying to properly configure printing on my
FreeBSD 4.1 box. I thought I had worked out all the
kinks (thanks, Patrick, for all of your tips to
date!), but I've discovered this evening that I can't
print from within a browser (I have both Netscape and
Amaya installed). I can print from other applications
from within XFree86; KDE's simple text editor prints
text files just fine.

I've also installed Ghostscript, but am unsure of how
to use it. Sorry for all the questions, but with
everyone's help I'm inching ever closer to
self-sufficiency (I'm shooting for 2010)...

I've tried

:ifhp=model=hp2100

as well as several other models, including the HP LJ 4
series, several of the gs variants, and gs_ljet4, to
no avail. Depending on which model I use, I either get
a printer error or no error at all. hp2100 produces
the error. If I comment out the :ifhp and :filter
lines, I get stairstep output from within Netscape:

%!PS-Adobe-2.0
    %%Creator: Thot
        %% Delete the last nwpage line command...

I know there's probably on online reference for this
somewhere, but I for the life of me can't find it.

As always, thanks to everyone for their help.

John
