1) Does anyone know how to drive a USB printer (in my case, the hp deskjet
845c) from XDarwin? This problem, in fact, already arises in the
Terminal.app setting in OS X.

Note: The MAC OSX Unleashed book explains how to drive a remote
laserprinter from Terminal app. (and, by implication, from XDarwin),
but the authors have in fact kindly admitted to me that it is not clear
how to drive a USB printer from the command line interface. They suggested
me to look more deeply into  ghostscript, which is why I post this
question to the Fink world.

2) Postscript fonts do not display well on my TFT 15" screen of a G4
iMac. This is a problem both in gv and in mgv. pdf does fine in both these
programs. Of course, I could use ps2pdf, but that seems an ugly solution.
I tinkered with all the adjustments, but it is only in very large font
sizes that the screen gives decent ps output. Because of point 1), I
do not know whether this problem  persists in printed output.
