I'm trying to get HP Deskjet 3930 working with Debian Sarge. I've worn
out all my resources. I'd like to know if anyone has actually ever used
this setup? I've been assured that it should work.

I click 'print' and a dialog states 'Printing page...Sending data to
printer' but thats as far as it goes. The printer sits there silently.
At this point a message in my error log states...

'Unable to convert file 0 to printable

format forjob 23!'.

The meaning of this message, according to the FAQ's at...
http://linuxprinting.org/error_log-faq.html#q_3_12 is

'...this is caused by not having the pstoraster filter included in ESP
GhostScript, or not having applied the GhostScript patches in the
pstoraster directory of the GNU GhostScript sources. You need to
install
ESP GhostScript or the patch starting with CUPS 1.1.15.
It may also be necessary to compile ESP GhostScript against your
current
version of CUPS.'

As you can see, I have ESP GhostScript installed...

debian:/home/daryl# dpkg -l | grep esp
ii gs-esp 7.07.1-9 The Ghostscript PostScript interpreter - ESP

If I have ESP GhostScript, which includes the pstoraster filter, how
can the statement '...this is caused by not having the pstoraster
filter included in ESP GhostScript' be true?
