Hi All,

I have been trying for several days now to get my laser printer
(AP5 - HP Laserjet 4 compatiable) running but I have had no
success.  I can print postscript files from another linux machine
on my home net but I have not been able to either be successful
with remote printing or printing postscript if I move the printer to
my local machine?  Anyone out there had success in either of these
situations? 

my /etc/printcap has been setup by RedHats control panel - printer
screen but the gs filter does not work and all I get are lots of
wasted paper (FF's and associated rubbish).

The thing I find most flaming is that before I loaded RedHat 2.1 and
3.03 everything worked well, both remote printing and local printing.
I have copied the "saved printcap" to the new release but whilst I 
have checked and rechecked ACL's, locations, owners etc.. NO Joy.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Cheers Grahame
