I use magicfilter and the gs-alladin(which includes the hpdj patch, see 'man gs-hpdj') for my HP 660C. The hpdj patch does not include 660C support directly as you mentioned but using the 560C or the 'unspec' model works for all my needs. I have put some of my files print setup files up at http://widget.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis/hpdj-printing/. In order to select the pages to print you will have to use the psselect, in the psutils package, in a pipe with the print command dialog box in netscapes print dialog. Something like: Print Command: psselect -q -p1-4 | lpr -Plp I usually use psnup to print 2-up or 4-up from netscape as in: Print Command: psnup -q -pletter -n4 | lpr -Plp HTH, -- Brian Servis -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mechanical Engineering | Never criticize anybody until you Purdue University | have walked a mile in their shoes, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | because by that time you will be a http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis | mile away and have their shoes.
