- 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.
