Firstly, do you know what netscape uses to print. Eg, when I press print in NS, the dialogue box says: Print Command: lpr
Also, what are you using to filter? I use magicfilter, 'cos it does everything for you. If you use this, make sure you have run magicfilterconfig and this sets up a good working printcap file. If you are not using magicfilter, you need :if=/etc/<your_filter_file> in /etc/printcap under your lp printer def'n, and something along the lines of /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -sDEVICE=laserjet -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- - in <your_filter_file>. I think that it is normal for NS to dump ps output at your printer program, and for that to use gs to drive your printer. I would recommend using magicfilter to do the filtering.
