Which applications / which files? I posted about a similar problem ("man -t problem") on this list a few days ago. This was due, apparently, to a (probably recent) bug in the "file" program, which some printer drivers (input filters) use to detect the file type. See also http://bugs.debian.org/file. I my case the following worked: edit /etc/magic as root and add the lines # PostScript, updated by Daniel Quinlan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 0 string %! PostScript document text >2 string PS-Adobe- conforming >>11 string >\0 at level %.3s >>>15 string EPS - type %s >>>15 string Query - type %s >>>15 string ExitServer - type %s My print driver (Brother HL2030) uses "file". I do not know if hpijs does. If it does not, the above solution will not work, of course. But it may be worth a try.
