I would suggest breaking the printing into each of the separate stages
to identify the problem. For example:
$ zcat /usr/share/doc/gs-esp/examples/tiger.eps.gz | gs-esp -dSAFER
-dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pxlmono -sPAPERSIZE=a4
-sOutputFile=test.raw -
# cat test.raw > /dev/lp0
This should print a picture of a tiger. This is running ghostscript
by hand, completely bypassing CUPS.
The CUPS test page is /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps, so
$ gs-esp -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pxlmono -sPAPERSIZE=a4
-sOutputFile=test.raw /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps
should rasterise it. You can also add e.g. -r600x600 to print at 600
DPI.
Regards,
Roger
