I think the redirection on the standard output with the above command is the correct behavior, if you want to send it to the
printer connected to your parallel port you should use something like "gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=jpeg
-sOutputFile=/dev/lp0 test.ps". (the important part is the OutputFile option)
