Problem:
My HP Laserjet 6L can only print ASCII files correctly. Other files
just print things
such as ASCII headers on Postscript files. Printing from Netscape also
prints out
wacky ascii characters.
What step(s) am I missing when trying to configuration my system?
Background:
1. OS: Debian 1.3.1
2. Packages installed:
ii enscript 1.5.0-1 Converting ASCII texts to Postscript
ii ghostview 1.5-16 The GNU PostScript viewer (X11
frontend to G
ii gs 3.33-5 Postscript interpreter with X11 and
svgalib
ii lprng 3.2.1-1 lpr/lpd printer spooling system
ii magicfilter 1.2-10 automatic printer filter.
3. HP LaserJet 6L printer works fine when running Windows95.
4. Here is what my /etc/printcap looks like:
lp|lj|hplj4l|HP Laserjet 4L:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4l:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/sbin/ljet4m-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
I verified that /usr/sbin/ljet4m-filter does indeed exist.
5. Maybe the problem isn't with printing per se. Here is an error I get
when
trying to read a PostScript file generated by Netscape's browser
(4.0.4).
# ghostview intro.ps
A notifier window named "information" pops up and prints...
While reading gs_fonts.ps:
Error: /undefinedfilename in (Fontmap)

Thanks in advance.
