Printer Perplexity

Hi there Solaris printer people,

A user has an HP1700 networked duplex inkjet that he wants to send
postscript to. Naturally. Of course this printer doesn't "do"
hardware postscript (despite what the salesman told me) but the
user found a way to use ghostscript to do the conversion.
The user wants to be able to put print jobs into a printer queue
instead of individual prints.

I added the commands to the /etc/lp/interfaces/HP1700 file:-

FILTER="/usr/local/bin/gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE \
        -sDEVICE=ijs \
        -sIjsServer=hpijs \
        -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595 \
        -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=842 \
        -dDuplex=true \
        -dTumble=false \
        -sDeviceManufacturer="HEWLETT-PACKARD" \
        -sDeviceModel="cp1700" -r300 \
        -sIjsParams=Quality:Quality=1,Quality:ColorMode=2,Quality:MediaType=0,Quality:PenSet=2,PS:MediaPosition=7 \
        -dIjsUseOutputFD \
        -sOutputFile=- -"

but I am unsure as to what to do next.

The printer doesn't print anything except a sheet with a banner:-

######### User: root@st4
#### Title: test1.ps
#### Date Fri 14:15 Nov 21, 2003
#### Job: HP1700-69

and another sheet with:-

User: root
Host: st4
Class: st4
Job: test1.ps

Any pointers?

Nick
