Thanks for your help in sorting out my problem with ghostscript. I've installed the correct libpng package and now ghostscript works, thanks to you.

You're welcome.

Unfortunately, I still cannot print. Print jobs just stay on the queue with the message:

...

lpq waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?) Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1st root 90 testfile.lpr 4261 bytes

I've used yast to reinstall my Canon bj200 printer and I've reinstalled the aps package. No luck.

The following command *does* work

...

lpr -Plp3 testfile.lpr

so I know the printer is ready and capable of printing off the raw queue. It's just the lp and lp2 queues that don't work.

...

lpr -Plp testfile.lpr

does *not* print.

Here's the relevant part of /etc/printcap:

# lp|lp2|bj200-letter-auto-mono-360|bj200 letter auto mono 360:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/bj200-letter-auto-mono-360:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/bj200-letter-auto-mono-360/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/bj200-letter-auto-mono-360/acct:\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/bj200-letter-auto-mono-360:\ :la@:mx#0:\ :tr=:cl:sh:sf:

Any idea as to what is wrong?

Hmm, looks good to me. Is /dev/lp0 the correct device? Do you see messages in /var/log/messages?
