Do this as root:
rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/RPMS/ghostscript-4.03-1.i386.rpm
Then edit the following file (assuming you are using RedHat's default
filter)
/var/spool/lpd/lp1/filter
Change the line that says:
DEVICE=xyzprinter
To:
DEVICE=stcolor
Then you are set. You may need to get libpng and install it also if you
don't already have it. The problem is that Red Hat ships an old version
of ghostscript because unfortunately the license on ghostscript prevents
them from shipping the latest one. But you can get the latest one from
contrib. The ghostscript that comes with Red Hat doesn't have a driver
for your printer, but the new one does.
Tony.
