Automated Solaris PDF printing to HPLaserjet

[Wonboodoo]

Hello,

I'd like to print PDF documents to a networked HP Laserjet printer from Solaris. I've tried using Ghostscript's "pdf2ps" program to convert the PDF into a Postscript doc and then send the postscript document to the printer but all I get is the banner page.

I set up my print-queue for the LaserJet as follows:
lpadmin -p printer_ps -D "PostScript printer" -m netstandard -v /dev/null -T PS -I postscript -o protocol=bsd,dest=printer_ps

I assume my HPLaserJet 4 can deal with Postscript although I haven't confirmed.

Any ideas, alternatives, ... etc?

Thanks.

the HPLJ4 can only do postscript with a Postscript module ... you'll need to check if it is installed ...

acroread has an option to convert pdfs to postscript from the command line, it might be worth your while trying to do that if it turns out that gs is doing it incorrectly.
