Hi all, Happy New Year.
Thought I'd finish out the year with one newbiesque question. At work,
I'm trying to print from my Debian box (woody) on a Lexmark Optra M412
(a postscript compatible laser printer) connected to a networked Windows
machine. I'm presently using apsfilter and lpr (although I had exactly
the same problem using lprngtool and lprng). Anyway, below is my present
/etc/printcap. I tried two settings, one named kinetics, the other named
ghostprint.
I can print just fine from most applications, including Evolution,
Gnumeric,Gimp, Acrobat Reader and Galeon. Where I have problems is with
gv and gnome-gv. Strangely enough,KGhostview prints just fine with
ghostprint. Any idea why gv and gnome-gv don't print? I have them
printing to the same place as the others, either:
"/usr/bin/lpr -Pghostprint"
or
"/usr/bin/lpr -Pkinetics"
Thanks in advance for your advice
