Howdy,

I was wondering do you have gimp-print or some other aftermarket printer driver installed? The reason I ask is that I could not print Postscript via lpr using the default cups configuration because all of my printer drivers wanted pdf and there is no ps->pdf filter. I wrote one [one of those 5 minute tasks that takes all day :-( ] and now everything works beautifully.

I am curious what was the difference between our systems as it just seems to work for some people and not for others (at least me).

If there is any interest I can make my little filter available if this actually is an issue for anyone.

-Eric

Just try printing, you might be pleasantly surprised! I had just installed ghostview (gv) via fink, loaded a postscript article and tried printing. Ghostview sent the output to lpr, but otherwise gave no feedback. I looked up the job in CUPS and... whoa... says it's been printed on (my last selected) printer! I went to check and, yes, it was sitting at the printer.

Very cool.  I *love* it when things work automagically.
