REQ: Help getting printing to work with GNU GS 4.03

Greetings,
 
I've recently installed GNU ghostscript 4.03 on our SunOS 5.5.1 unix
system. After going and getting the required fonts via FTP and installing
them to ghostscript/fonts (although in the docs it says these are
included), I can finally display ps files.  However, I cannot get printing
to work on our network printer, An HP Laserjet4.  When I invoke gs from
the command line:
 
%gs -sDEVICE=ljet4 filename.ps
 
It looks like it's loading the fonts and processing the file, but for
some reason, it never actually prints.  In the documentation it says ljet4
is the appropriate device for our printer.  I know it was compiled with
this driver because the command (from within GS):
 
GS>devicenames ==
 
lists ljet4 as one of the available devices.
 
I have the correct printer selected in $LPDEST, so I can't figure out
what's going wrong.  It's as if GS is printing right into the ozone layer!
 
Thanks in advance for any help! A CC to my e-mail account is always
appreciated.

Regards,
Shane
