You are contradicting yourself. You showed us a printcap file for
PostScript capable printer. Now you are telling me that there is
a GhostScript driver for it. Then your printcap is not correct as
you need a input filter. You have a choice of using foomatic-rip or
writing a small filter yourself.
It should look something like
more /usr/local/libexec/lpfilter-ps
#!/bin/sh
# Treat LF as CR+LF
printf "\033&k2G" || exit 2
# Print the postscript file
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=ljet4 \
-sOutputFile=- -sPAPERSIZE=a4 - && exit 0
exit 2
Replace ljet4 with the name of the driver which you believe supports
your printer.
Printcap should look like
lp|local|HP:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:sd=/var/spool/output:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
:sh:mx#0:if=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter-ps:
You just need to edit device node /dev/lpt0 otpion (maybe).
Cheers,
Predrag
P.S. I would check OpenPrinting data base before I really believe that
Samsung printer can be driven by GhostScript. I am not saying it is not
possible. I am just saying that in my experience those cheep one tend
to require Splix.
