The most common cause so far is that those files are formated for A4 paper size and some printers don't like that. For example, I am getting this error in the lpq output right now after trying to print one such file on an HP ColorLaserjet 5m: Filter_status: Error: configurationerror; OffendingCommand: setpagedevice; ErrorInfo: PageSize --nostringval-- at 16:59:18.695 It is possible to edit postscript files and remove some incantations from them to make these files print. However, this is not a good long term solution. Does anyone know if there is a utility that could be used from a print filter perhaps that would ensure that all documents are formated for a certain paper size (say letter)? I noticed that ifhp has options for paper size selection (letter, legal, a1, etc). Do those options cause the document to be reformatted for this paper size or do they just somehow cause the paper selection happen on the printer by other means? Anyways, I tried the following two entries for a printer in my printcap and I am still getting the same error message: :ifhp=model=hpcolorlj5m,paper=letter and :ifhp=model=hpcolorlj5m,letter Does anyone know how to handle this problem? -akopMost likely somebody else will have responded to this, but here are some thoughts. The psutils package has a psresize command that will resize PostScript jobs: psresize -Pletter should work... but I must admit that I have not had much luck with this.
