Form feed problems


My setup:

RH linux 6.2
GS_VERSION=6.50 (driver used: ljet3)
apsfilter-5.4.2
Epson EPL-5200

I've used this printer OK before under linux but with a different
setup, but now with the above I'm having little joy.

If I send it some postscript from dvips everything looks to work fine
according to the log but the `feed' button on the printer lights up
and stays on. It's not getting a form feed at the end thinks I so I
add RAW_EPILOGUE!\014! to:

/var/spool/lpd/printer1-ljet3-a4-auto-300x300/apsfilterrc

although the FAQ recommends RAW_EPILOGUE='\014' (?)

Then try again with dvips but the job still stays wedged in the queue:

lp is ready and printing
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
active frank      4    (standard input)                      11491 bytes

Any ideas?

I can post the log if that's any help.

TIA
