Couldn't comprehend
Authored by: WillyT on Sep 25, '02 11:13:28PM

But the solution was easier for me.

I have an hpG85 and couldn't print with the current drivers. Found that the old 4.0.5 driver works in 10.2.1?!?! It's very slow.

I have fink, Gimp, and Ghostscript6 installed.

So I created a tmp folder in my home folder.

Running gimp I selected print from the menu.

My printer shows up. I selected Setup.

Select Postscript 2.

In the command box type:

cat >tmp/temp.ps ; ps2pdf tmp/temp.ps tmp/temp.pdf ; lpr tmp/temp.pdf ; rm tmp/temp.*


That should all be one really long line.

Save settings and print.

It actually works. But still slow as molasses running uphill.
Maybe when I'm not so tired I'll try the hint but for now its working.
