	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.

PS : the file i tried to print is only a man page but the foo.lbp is 700k.
