This is not a debian specific problem, but since I am running debian this
is as good a place as any to post.
I just bought an Epson Stylus color 500 printer. When I print a document
generated by LaTeX, converted to postscript with dvips, only part of the
page is printed. The rest is printed on the following page. Then another
new page is started with the next new page of the document. When I
preview with ghostscript, the page layout is fine.
When I try to print color output, using the stcolor device in
ghostscript, pages just run through the printer, getting no output.
The pertinent entries from my printcap follow ...
ps|ps|ps|Epson Stylus Color 500:\

Thanks for any help.
