Yeah, I just figured this one out. Basically, WP comes with many printer
drivers which should directly drive your printer *without* the
intervention of Ghostscript. The drivers may or may not work, but to use
them you need a raw printer driver in your /etc/printcap file.
Perhaps the easiset way for most of us to use WP is to use our regular
gostscript/magicfilter/whatever printing system. This means that we must
create postscript from our WP documents. To do this we must select a
postscript printer driver within WP. The best one for *colour* is
probably NEC Colormate PS. This will produce a nice colour postscript
document which your usual printing system can process. Don't forget that
the object of the exercise is to simply produce a good ps document - the
actual printer make you select in WP does not matter.
Hope this helps.
