Greetings, all. I'm having serious trouble printing postscript files from my Woody system. I've got a HPDJ 670c, and I'm running gs 6.53-3 and magicfilter 1.2-53. (This, of course, applies to printing anything that goes through PostScript, like PDF.) I'm using lprng 3.8.10-1.
The actual behavior varies somewhat: at best, I'll get one or two lines of good output, then the printer starts making these *horrible* noises, like it's trying to move the print head way off the end of the track and stripping the motor in the process, then spit out the page. It'll suck in a new page, then either spit it out blank or spit it out with two or three lines of gibberish on it. Repeat until I yank the power cord (hitting the power button doesn't help; the printer gets seriously wedged.) Printing ASCII works fine, as does printing PostScript & PDF from Windows. /etc/printcap (generated by magicfilterconfig): lp|hpdj670c-m|HP DeskJet 670C (mono):\ :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpdj670c-m:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/dj670c-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: /etc/magicfilter/dj670c-filter is as installed by the magicfilter package. To print, I'm using the command dvips -Phpdj670c-m specs.dvi The relevant dvips configuration file follows: M hpdj D 2602 X 2602 Y 2602 o |lpr -Phpdj670c-m O 0in,1.54cm I've also tried gs-aladdin, and lpr 2000.05.07-4.2. Neither helps. This used to work, several months ago. I don't keep very careful records of what I change on my system, though, so I can't say exactly what broke it. (I was running testing, though, when I first noticed the problem. I downgraded to stable a while back, in an attempt to fix this and also some truetype font issues. This is the first time I've tried printing since the downgrade.) Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks, Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
