OK things are becoming a little more clear but looking though the
print howto and gs manpage it isn't becoming apparent to me how to
generate a command to do what "pandot" does for you. I'm going though
the gs docs in /usr/share/doc/gs/Use.htm to see if I can figure this
out. I was wondering if you could share your printcap? You can email
it to me directly if you like. It looks like I'm going to have to muck
around with files in /usr/share/ghostscript/common/ also, is that
correct?
Thanks,
