Please have a good read of Printing-HOWTO to understand exactly how printing is done under Linux. lpr, lprng, cups etc provide for the print mechanisms. What you need are printer drivers for your specific device. RH has prin- tool. Drivers are also available within ghostscript for several printers as well. It is advisable, to use specific progs like "apsfilter" or "magicfilter" to set up the spool / drivers. In case these are not available with your distro, pl download from the net. "apsfilter" is pretty small. It is a bash script ! The very face the you are getting gibberish is a sign of "good" health, and only the correct drivers need to be installed.
