| Re: lpr & cat file > /dev/lp0 freeze on multipage files but gs looks OK?!? |
Thanks for reply. I really appreciate it. I have Slackware 7.1 Linux, GS 5.50, Samsung ML4500 (non-PS). I use its gdi printer driver compiled into GS with patch. I can view postscript file with GS perfectly. I create printer native language file with GS and then try to cat file > /dev/lp0. First page looks great but then nothing else prints. Someone on linuxprinting.org was saying something about printer driver having a problem with some string so maybe the problem is the printer driver. Once again I can SEE the PS output but not print the GS output. A bad driver is all I can think of. Any ideas would be very well received.
