Netscape - Printing on System printers

When printing in Netscape on HP LaserJet IIP it prints out the whole
file showing Postscript commands ?.  Can anyone advise the correct
lpr command to use when Print command is selected.

You have found one of the 'features' of the Netscape Navigator.
It only prints PostScript. You can try using one of the PostScript ->
PCL (HP's printer language) converters.

I use ghostscript to print from Navigator to my HP OfficeJet, which also
talks PCL.

What other possibilities are there for the conversion?

| printing (lp)?

I compiled ghostscript with

    DEVICE_DEVS=x11.dev djet500.dev tiffg3.dev

My gsdj shell script:

    :
    case $# in
    0) gs -q -sDEVICE=djet500 -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- - -c quit | lp -og ;;
