Not yet, at this stage I have eliminated the pnm2ppa SW as a possible
cause. In a separate note from Duncan Haldane, I got enough information to
narrow it down to the filter set (I think). He suggested getting the
"rawhide" version of both printtool and the rhs-filter set from Red Hat and
working with them.
Given past success with LPRng, I would prefer to figure out how to use the
spooler to handle the output of the GS + pnm2ppa chain properly. IFHP,
which is tweaked for LPRng, does not have a model for a ppa printer nor
does it appear on cursory examination to have a provision for a flow
through or "do nothing but pass it to the HW part" option. However, I will
RTFM again and take a look at the sources to see if I can id the
problem. The HP-1000C seems to be a bargain as a 11x17 color printer & I
wanted it as an output device for GIMP.
This is frustrating because I thought I understood the printing sub-system
reasonably well, but it has been demonstrated that is not the case
;-} Again any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Paul
