Unfortunately, no, I can't.. but I've got related problems, so
I thought I'd hitch a ride on this thread.
I'm using debian 2.0, lprng, magicfilter, a deskjet portable
printer and I too tried both deskjet-filter and dj500-filter.
My problem: the printer stops part of the way through a post
script file. I've tried new, freshly generated files (dvips),
old files, and the example files that come with ghostscript.
Everything used to work fine when I used slackware.
Things I've changed since the last successful print:
1. Moved from Slackware(+apsfilter) to Debian (+magicfilter)
2. Upgraded my processor to a Cyrix P166+ (from AMD K5/100)
3. Reflashed my Bios (not sure about the new version number:
MoBo is a BCM SQ591, non-mmx, about three years old: I
flashed it with the latest bios on the BCM site.)
Anybody have any suggestions ?
TimT.
