It does at least do the job. > Hello, Thank you for your reply. I tried your filter (most times by doing it manually), but I can't get it working. I tried "ijs" and "stp" (Gimp-print), and many Cxx printer versions. BTW the script you are using is very similar (if not equal) to the command "apsfilter" calls (that is "gs") at the end. I only get some "<<?<??<??" like characters (left aligned), was that your problem? Also it isn't a connection problem: I tried both USB and Parallel connections. Do you know about anything else I can do? Best Regards, Ale
