- I've recently FTPed GNU Ghostscript from info.rz.uni-ulm.de. The zip file
- contains gs.exe which works fine displaying Postscript on my X terminal.
- However, the command "devicenames" shows no valid devices. I want to print
- to an HP LaserJet III. I presume I would use a command like "(ljet3)
- selectdevice". When I do this I get the following error:
-
- GS>(ljet3) selectdevice
- Error: /undefined in --get--
- Operand stack:
- -dicttype- (ljet3)
- Execution stack:
- operator_22900 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- operator_c2d8 --nostrin
- gval-- --nostringval-- false --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-
- - --nostringval--
- Dictionary stack:
- 338/401 3/200
-
- Looking thru the distribution, I get the (bad) feeling that I must compile
- and link any devices into the executable. Is this the case? Any info is
- greatly appreciated. Thanks.
-
- P.S. I've also tried the command:
-
- $ gs "-dNODISPLAY" "-sDEVICE=ljet3" file.ps
-
- but nothing seems to happen, other than I get the "GS>" interpreter prompt.
