[SLE] Laserjet 5 + GhostScript, PT II
Hi, everybody! I'm *still* having a really hard time with this printer. I have apsfilter, gs_both (along with all includes), and lprng installed, and I've set my NetExpress Pro card to be an SMB device. I can `lpr' any plain text file, print from pine, pico, and other console applications. I cannot, however, print from any application that requires GS to filter the output. If I try, I get a bunch of empty pages and some jibberish in between. I used YaST to configure a Samba Printer (lj5mono, //hpserver/lj_5). This is the printcap that YaST made for me: ### BEGIN apsfilter: ### lj5mono letter mono 600 ### # Warning: Configured for apsfilter, do not edit the labels! # apsfilter setup Thu Jan 13 09:40:15 CST 2000 # ascii|lp1|lj5mono-letter-ascii-mono-600|lj5mono letter ascii mono 600:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj5mono-letter-ascii-mono-600:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lj5mono-letter-ascii-mono-600/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lj5mono-letter-ascii-mono-600/acct:\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/lj5mono-letter-ascii-mono-600:\ :la@:mx#0:\ :tr=:cl:sh:sf: # lp|lp2|lj5mono-letter-auto-mono-600|lj5mono letter auto mono 600:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj5mono-letter-auto-mono-600:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lj5mono-letter-auto-mono-600/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lj5mono-letter-auto-mono-600/acct:\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/lj5mono-letter-auto-mono-600:\ :la@:mx#0:\ :tr=:cl:sh:sf: # raw|lp3|lj5mono-letter-raw|lj5mono letter raw:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj5mono-letter-raw:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lj5mono-letter-raw/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lj5mono-letter-raw/acct:\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/lj5mono-letter-raw:\ :la@:mx#0:\ :tr=:cl:sh:sf: # ### END apsfilter: ### lj5mono letter mono 600 ### At this point, my only problem is getting GS to feed printable data. Any ideas? :] /etc/apsfilterrc looks okay, so is apsfilter.lj5mono. Is there another config file I'm missing? -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

The "jibberish" speaks either for an unwanted "translation" by the server box, wrong printer language or lost (heading) data, that tells the printer what language it is. If you set it up with yast, I'd consider the configuration OK. 2-3 month ago I wrote on that subject, I can dig my sent-mails or just dig the archives. As a site note, we had a axix box at work, you could ftp to. Tried that?
