Hello,

I am trying to setup my printer up on my PC. I have a deskjet 600. I have
downloaded and installed both a2ps and ghostscript binary packages to get
this to work.

I can run a2ps okay to convert from text to postscript. When I pass the
output from this into ghostscript (using the following command):

% cat file.ps | gs -q -dNODISPLAY -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=deskjet -sOutputFile=-

I get the following error (lots more in fact, but this is the first couple
of lines.

I don't some (more clueful person than me) one would have any idea what 
stupid mistake I am making ?

Thanks for your time.
