OSX printing to hp812c

[Warren Pollans]

Hello,

I don't believe that this a an a2ps problem - but thought I'd ask here 
- hoping that someone had already solved this problem.

I'm trying to  use a2ps to print to my HP812C deskjet printer - from my 
ibook (10.2.8).  I had been able to print with a2ps to this printer 
when it was connected to my linux box - then I connected the ibook to 
the linux box via local ethernet.  I have no trouble printing to a 
network printer (HP laserjet 4050).   I can also print from OSX apps to 
this printer.

I am  unable to print a test file to this printer via a2ps - lpr works 
fine, although that's not what I want.  I am also unable to "lpr 
<postscript file saved froma2ps" to this printer.  Someone has 
suggested that it needs ghostscript - so I installed "ESP Ghostscript 
7.05" - but this hasn't helped.

I was using the a2ps (4.13) built via fink.  I have also built a2ps 
from source.  I get the same results with both - so I guess I must be 
missing what it is that allows printing of postscript files on this 
printer - who does that?.


Any suggestions are welcome.


Thanks,

Warren
