Hello,

I have a HP DeskJet 500 printer. I have configured my printer so that it
would print plain text. However I want also to print PostScript files. I
have configured my "printcap" file with the following statements:

HP500:\
  :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/RainBow:\
  :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
  :if=/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=djet500
-sOutputFile=-

But I get the following message:

Nov 26 21:29:27 Amigo lpd[402]: cannot execv /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER
-dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=djet500 -sOutputFile=-

Can anybody help me to solve this problem ?

Thanks,

	Wouter
