Yep das blinken lights work :-)

Yepo, HP laserJet 1100 takes a ljet4 driver for Ghostscript.
After going thru apsfilterconfig and setting it all up with correct
settings I get a chance to print a test page :-) goody
I get some postscript errors like
"Dictionary stack:
--dict:780/809-- --dict:0/20-- --dict:89/200-- --dict:16/23--
--dict:780/809--"
followed by...
do {"Unrecoverable error: Unrecoverable error: execstackoverflow in
Unrecoverable error: Unrecoverable error: execstackoverflow in
Unrecoverable error: Unrecoverable error: execstackoverflow in
Unrecoverable error: Unrecoverable error: execstackoverflow"
while(1)
Ummmm?
If I "lpr -Plp test.ps" it silently adds a job to the spool dir
/var/spool/lpd/lp with no complains but nilch comes out.
Can I "apt-get install jeanie" ?
