PS printing question

[Johan Dewaele <jenkdewaele2@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

Being new to Linux , I've got problems printing PS files on a HP
Deskjet 400 (color + bw)

On my system : Debian GNU Linux slink v2.1
                          LPRng 3.5.2-1.3
                          apsfilter 4.9.7-5
                          gv 3.5.8
                          gs 5.10
As printerdriver I choose cdj500 (info from www.picante.com)

apsfilter created in my /etc/printcap 5 entries (short ) :  

ascii mono
auto mono
ascii color
auto color
raw

I'm able to print text files thru "raw" (lpr -Praw <file>) and I have no
problem printing (b/w) files from WP8 (also specifying "lpr -Praw" as
print command).

* When trying to print files from gv or gimp or acroread etc,  I get  or
  nothing or on the printer :

Error: /undefined in FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
                                    Operand stack:
                                                  Execution stack:
                                                                  %inter

* When I try to print a .ps file thru "raw" I get the ps file in text. 
Thru   other filters, nothing(?) happens.
* When invoking gs with parameters like :
  gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=cdj500 -sOutputFile=\|lpr file.ps 
  gs loads an number of fonts and stops ...

I would apreciate any help or direction where to find an answer or where
I missed something.

Thanks in advance.

Johan
