I would suggest breaking the printing into each of the separate stages to identify the problem. For example: $ zcat /usr/share/doc/gs-esp/examples/tiger.eps.gz | gs-esp -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pxlmono -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=test.raw - # cat test.raw > /dev/lp0 This should print a picture of a tiger. This is running ghostscript by hand, completely bypassing CUPS. The CUPS test page is /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps, so $ gs-esp -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pxlmono -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=test.raw /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps should rasterise it. You can also add e.g. -r600x600 to print at 600 DPI. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
