Hi all,
I managed to install linux (SLS 0.98) with X11, TeX and xfig. Its ok to
read dvi-files with xdvi but I realy would like to get my postscript
files out on my printer:
Printer: HP DJ500C
So I'm looking for someone who has been able to compile
ghostview
ghostscript
transfig
PLEASE mail me your makefile or any other information on how
to set up my printer.
THANKS IN ADVANCE,
Rene'
BTW: I posted a similar article a few weeks ago and received a number of replies from people telling me that they had NO problems compiling ghostscript and ghostview. -- Great, BUT I AM having problems and need HELP.
BTW2: Posting my first article and mentioning that I had the SLS release running resulted in a vast number of mails, asking me how I got X11, SLS an the rest running. I replied to all these mails - most of the problems are explained in the FAQ or were already answered in some other postings. So please read the news before asking questions. "I know its somewhere in the FAQ, but...." is no longer an excuse - READ the FAQ and the news - that's what they're there for. Scanning approx.14000 articles is a lot, b
ut its not getting less if people keep on posting old questions - AND many of the linuxers will stop reading all articles if only old stuff crops up. Splitting the group (into beginners and advanced users) makes little sense, but a little more patience and discipline would help. (Maybe we could have comp.os.linux.X11 ..TeX ..Emacs ..Ghost ..Printing ..GCC. and keep the installation news in comp.os.linux.)
Despite the above discussion, I need HELP with ghost* and my HP DJ500C printer.
