Sorry if am i in the wrong newsgroup. I have a sun3/80 and a Canon LBP4 (a non postscript laser printer using the "CaPsl3" language). My problem is how to print a postscript file on a non postscript printer ? Ghostscript seem to do something like that. But maybe i missunderstand it's features. I compiled gs whith DEVICES..= x11.dev lbp8.dev and tried to do something like this : gs -sOUTPUTFILE=foo.lbp -sDEVICE=lbp8 foo.ps I suppose that here i should have a file named foo.lbp in the format understood by the lbp8 ( am i wrong ?). So i tried to lp it in my lbp4 just to see. I just print garbage. What's the problem ? LBP4 and LBP8 are very differents ? Gs don't work the way i think ? Does anyone know a way to print "pretty" (not just ascii) things whith this configuration ? Thanks for any help. -Alawa PS : the file i tried to print is only a man page but the foo.lbp is 700k.
