LPRng: Printing postscript on HP 695c deskjet

[Ariel Zentner]

Hi, I'm running Solaris 8 with an HP printer connected to the local parallel port(nothing fancy), but I can't get it to print postscript files, I keep on getting the commands instead of the contents. I was under the impression that the IFHP filter will convert the file to PCL for me, so I won't have to deal with using ghostscript. I configured the printer using LPRngTool(which is very nice), so my printcap file is alright, I chose my printer model from the list given(it had exactly the right printer) but still I can only print text test pages and not postscript. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong, I've been stuck with this problem for quite a while(trying different printing software packages like CUPS) and the postscript printing is becoming quite urgent. Thanks, R.E.L
