You are on the right way. ghostscript is used by a print filter (apsfilter, magicfilter or lprng) to translate PostScript for your non-PostScript printer.

It's possible, that Netscape itself use this nifty utility. -Egon On Thu, 24 Dec 1998, Jason Dawe wrote: > Yesterday I had questions on installing Aladdin Ghostscript 5.50.
