No problem. First of all, the reason 'ls | /usr/sbin/dj550ce-filter' doesn't do anything to the text is because ls doesn't output postscript, it outputs text (which the filter doesn't do anything with). Now, your script /usr/sbin/econogsc should only need to do this: #!/bin/bash # called as: econogsc # output hpset hp escape codes to stdout /home/mjnf/hptools_1.2.3/hpset -c econo # now output the ghostscript hp escape codes /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r300 -sDEVICE=cdj550 -sOutputFile=- - That's it! Why create temp files? There's no need for that. Now, your filter entry should be this: 0 %! filter /usr/sbin/econogsc Again, you don't need to pass the filename.
