Think this needs to be a FAQ, I answer it at least twice a week. First
off if you have netscape and Java working, http://www.pe.net/~williams/.
If not, you need ghostscript-3.53 or higher (4.03), you have to edit the
DEVS=6 line and add in stcolor.dev in unix.mak (think), once gs is
installed, next you need magicfilter-1.2 package from sunsite installed.
Appended are my /etc/printcap and /usr/local/bin/escp2-filter.
