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 and
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, but 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.
