Hi, I had a similar problem (using gs and magicfilter). I found that ghostscript crashed while converting the PS-file to PCL. The effect was that lpq said "all xxx bytes printed" but the printer remained silent and no errormessages were generated. You might try to call the gs-commandline for magicfilter from shell to see if gs hangs and fiddle with the drivers or additional gs-switches to get it working. --- Rolf Obrecht Institut fuer Elektrische Maschinen RWTH Aachen Schinkelstrasse 4 D-52056 Aachen Tel. +49 241 807646 Fax +49 241 8888270 PGP public key available.
