Printer problem

["R. Wayne McCorkle" <wmccorkl@psl.nmsu.edu>]

This is not a debian specific problem, but since I am running debian this 
is as good a place as any to post.

I just bought an Epson Stylus color 500 printer. When I print a document 
generated by LaTeX, converted to postscript with dvips, only part of the 
page is printed. The rest is printed on the following page. Then another 
new page is started with the next new page of the document. When I 
preview with ghostscript, the page layout is fine. 

When I try to print color output, using the stcolor device in 
ghostscript, pages just run through the printer, getting no output.

The pertinent entries from my printcap follow ...

ps|ps|ps|Epson Stylus Color 500:\
        :lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
        :if=//usr/spool/lpd/lp/psfilter:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

Here is /usr/spool/lpd/lp/psfilter ...

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=eps9high -sOutputFile=- -q -

and /usr/spool/lpd/lp/colorpsfilter ...

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=stcolor -sOutputFile=- -q -


Thanks for any help.
