1. Problem with a printer filter to use Postscript on HP5L

Hello !
I've got a small problem with my printer on FreeBSD. It is a HP Laser
Jet 5L plugged on /dev/lpt0 .
I use it to print plain text and postscript files locally and remotelly
with Samba and lpd (launched from a Linux 2.0 workstation).
When I print plain-text or with Samba... no problem....
But when I try to print postscript, nothing is printed !!! However, if I
use ghostscript manually and redirect it then to /dev/lpt0... it works
fine !
I've included my print filter script. I took it from the
FreeBSD handbook.

Thanks for your answers !
