I'm trying to set up an NEC SuperScript 100 inkjet printer under
Debian Linux. (Kernel 2.0.29, but mostly off the 1.3.1 CD-ROM.) I'm
using magicfilter 1.2.10 and LPRng 3.2.1-1. Since I haven't found
specific support for the NEC color printers, I'm using it in DeskJet
500 emulation mode.
It works fine printing plain text files, but when I try to print from
any application, I get errors, primarily this one:
Error: /undefineresource in true
Operand stack:
false --dict:4/4--
Execution
After the word "Execution" it stairsteps right off the edge of the
page.
I get that if I try to print from an application (Netscape Navigator
4.03). If I lp a postscript file (in this case, check.ps from the gs
examples) I get
Error: /undefinedfilename in --file--
Operand stack:
(cheq.ps) (r)
On the third hand, if I lp the coverpage example from mgetty, I get an
error message (just the word "Execution" against the right margin of
the page), then a printout of the entire .ps file as an ascii text
file.
Okay, I'm puzzled. I'm a computer programmer by profession. I have
set up servers and clients using four or five network protocols under
five or six operating systems. I cannot, in a reasonable time, figure
out how Linux printing works. Man, this is obtuse, obscure, and odd.
I will be very grateful for any help. If a technical expert will work
with me, I'll even be glad to help write an understandable document on
how to do this. (I have also written a manual or two.)
