If someone does have a non-postscript printer and is inclined to
do some tests for me, I'd like to produce a raw file for it
(assuming it is supported by ghostscript) and see if it prints
correctly.
All I need to know is (1) the ghostscript device name, and (2) the
page size (usletter, or a4).
There are so many printers from days gone past, which non-PostScript
printer are you thinking of? HP still probably supports its own
native language/format even though it has supported PostScript for
years. I forget what that is called at the moment.

That's a good point. I have two HP postscript printers. I'll have to
lookup the name of their native language (PCL perhaps?) and try the
corresponding ghostscript device.
Thanks
