No problem ... I offered. You guessed my setup: lprng with magicfilter. All the programs I use just call lp. Here's a dpkg -l on lprng, magicfilter, gs, and all of their Depends: and Suggests: (I think) ii lprng 3.8.2-1 lpr/lpd printer spooling system ii debconf 1.0.22 Debian configuration management system ii libc6 2.2.4-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii magicfilter 1.2-49 automatic printer filter. ii gs 6.51-5 The Ghostscript Postscript interpreter un enscript <none> (no description available) ii bzip2 1.0.1-14 A high-quality block-sorting file compressor ii gzip 1.3.2-3 The GNU compression utility. ii xpdf 0.93-4 Portable Document Format viewer for X11 ii libpaperg 1.1.2 Library for handling paper characteristics ii libgimpprint1 4.1.99-b1-1 library necessary to use gimp-print programs ii libpng2 1.0.12-3 PNG library - runtime ii xlibs 4.1.0-11 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1.1.3-18 compression library - runtime ii gs-common 0.3.1 Common files for different Ghostscript relea ii gsfonts 6.0-2 Fonts for the ghostscript interpreter ii psfontmgr 0.10.1 PostScript font manager -- part of Defoma, D ii gs-pdfencrypt 1.0.4-6 Provides support to view encrypted PDFs with After installing enscript and upgrading ghostview and gs-common, printing from netscape works: ii ghostview 1.5-27 a PostScript viewer for X11 ii gs-common 0.3.2 Common files for different Ghostscript relea ii enscript 1.6.2-4 Converts ASCII text to Postscript, HTML, RTF Before I believe the problem was with converting html to postscript; html2ps produced output that crashed gv, that sort of thing. I was able to print plain text and .pdfs (produced by pdflatex, the one that worked yesterday is at http://web.utk.edu/~rmahurin/skool/syllabus.pdf) at least; I'm not sure what else I tested. I'm going to blame gs-common, since that was the only real dependency involved. Hope that helps. Let me know if I can test anything else for you.
