I had the same proble. My HP 6L would not work. I tried magicfilter. ASCII text printed fine but postscript dvi e.t.c. were garbage. I then wrote a little script which uses explicitly gs and dvihp as filters to turn ps and dvi files into the printers native languge (PCL I think ) It essentially involves the same lines as in the ljet4l filter of magicfilter but put in a script file which is being executed every time printing is required. It worked for me I can send the scripts if you want but it has to be early next week as I am away from my computer. Let m eknow if you want them george
