It looks like cups is sending the postscript directly to your (non-postscript) printer. Before you go any further, verify that you have the cupsys-bsd package installed and not a different lpr. Have you tried different drivers? Since you are using cups, the easiest way to check/change your drivers is probably to point your browser at http://localhost:631 go to "Manage Printers" Click "Modify Printer" under your main printer (Do you have multiple printers set up? if so, try deleting all but the one you actually want to use). After you hit "Continue" on the printer name and port (I use an Epson printer but just the normal LPT1, not the epson specific choice, not sure of the difference) you can choose the manufacturer and model. I am betting that will take care of you. -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
