Hello, I installed ghostpdl properly. When I do: $_lpt1='cat >/tmp/x.pcl' I get in /tmp folder file that is output from the program and it is actually text file. When I do other command: pcl6 -sDEVICE=pswrite -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=x.ps x.pcl I got the following error message: Warning interpreter exited with error code -1 Flushing to end of job Obviously interpreter is an issue. I think that we are very close to the solution. DO you have any idea about -1 error code of interpreter?
