Printer Resolution Problem -- Solved!!
Many thanks to all those from 3 lists who responded to this problem. What I wound up doing was to run "magicfilterconfig" as root and choose the "ljet2plo" filter provided for printers with low memory. Printing PS files from Netscape Mail, Netscape Browser or ghostview works fine now at 150 dpi. Some smaller fonts are a little ragged around the edges, but the printouts are clear and readable. Many thanks again for the help. Jim -- Debian Linux! Where I REALLY went today!

Find out where magicfilter put its' filter. [mike:~] grep if= /etc/printcap :if=/usr/sbin/dj500c-filter:\ 2.

Do a search for xresolution and yresolution in the gs man page. Its been a while since I messed with this, but I think it's what you're looking for. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Forgot to mention that I'm using Magicfilter, maybe the resolution can be reduced to 150 dpi there somewhere. Jim -- Debian Linux! Where I REALLY went today!

Printer Resolution Problem.
I have a printing problem using Netscape under Linux. When I print a page, either from Netscape Mail or from the browser, my printer burps with a "Page Overflow" error. I believe this is caused by several things. First my printer is a Star LS-5 which is running as a clone of an LJ 2P. Problem with this is a LJ 2P came with 1Meg of RAM and mine only has 512K. Secondly, Netscape, either Mail or Browser, prints thru Ghostscript. (I checked this with Top while it was printing) Thus a page printed at the default 300dpi resolution can overrun the memory. I can work around this in Winders95 by reducing the print resolution to 150 dpi, but I don't see any way to do this in Linux. Is there a config file for either Netscape or Ghostscript(-Aladdin) that will allow this? I read the online help for Netscape and the man for GS but must have missed it if it was there.
