I have a Debian 1.3 o/s and an old Citizen GSX 140 printer. From previous
suggestions on this mailing list I have installed "magicfilter_1.2-10.deb"
in order to print .ps files from ghostview.
I am now attempting to configure the system so that the printer will use
magicfilter.
I tried the following:
In "/etc/printcap" I added the line
":if=/usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig:\"
Now when I try to print from ghostview the printer prints the following message:
"You already have an /etc/printcap installed. I assume it is already
correctly configured and won't overwrite it. (if /etc/printcap is not
correctly configured, delete the file and re-run /usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig
or run '/usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig --force')"
It seems like I'm on the right path, but rather than using trial and error
it would be better if I knew the correct way to set up magicfilter on the
Debian system.
Thanks for any help anyone might have.
