Hi netatalk wizards, I'm hoping somebody can shed some light on a wierd problem I've been having. I have a mixed network of macs, pcs etc. I run a linux server, which among other things has a public printer. The printer is an epson stylus 640 driven by ghostscript 5.50. The problem is that when printing from a powerbook g3, macos8.5.1, I get all kids of postscript errors and garbage printed out, instead of my output. I have a couple of older macs, running system 7.5, which are able to print with no problems. I've tried directing the output to a file and then using ghostscript manually to display the file, in an attempt to see where in the postscript we're running off into the weeds, but when I do that it works perfectly, gs is able to display the output. I've tried examining the generated postscript to see if there was anything obvious, but the postscript generated by the older macs and the new one vary in a large number of ways, so it's hard to know what that's telling me. I tried installing the latest adobe postscript printer driver on the offending mac, but that had no effect, I still get the errors. I don't really believe this is an atalk problem, rather I think it's some wierdness in the way my mac printer driver is configured, or something wrong with the way my ghostscript is configured. But I figured this group might be likely to have seen something like this, and be able to offer suggestions on how to get this unscrewed. Thanks in advance... In case it rings a bell, the error text looks like this. I've elided out some of the stuff, because it's fairly voluminous.
