Enscript problem

English Applications
#1

I have a problem with /usr/bin/enscript when the LANG is set to es_MX the printer is printing

ERROR: configurationerror
OFFENDING COMMAND: setpagedevice
ERRORINFO: Key = /PageSize Value = arraytype

STACK:
dicttype

But if the LANG is set to en_US my report will print correctly.

Does any body had this issue before? How can I fix it

Hello bgarciaperea,

Welcome to these forums.

Can you please at least mention which level of openSUSE you are using.

Also my idea is that your description is not complete. When I do

henk@boven:~> LANG=es_MX enscript



/usr/bin/lpr: Error - destino predeterminado no disponible.
henk@boven:~>

I do not get the same error as you. But I guess you do different. Please show exactly what you do. And please put that between CODE tags as I did (Posting in Code Tags - A Guide).

I use openSuSE 11.3

and my enscript rpm is enscript-1.6.4-163.1

I ran next command
/usr/bin/>echo $LANG
es_MX
/usr/bin> enscript --landscape --font=Courier8 /tmp/text.rpt
/usr/bin> echo $?
0

The error I showed is printed on the paper but no error is returned from the actual command, actually the exit value is 0

Thanks for the clarification. I am not an expert at all here, but let us hope that this triggers someone who knows more.

I believe it is a postscript error, detected by the printer itself, so the
printer model is also relevant. And he needs an expert in postscript.

I would generate, not print, the output file for both encodings, and
compare them. Possibly the Spanish one is incorrect, so a Bugzilla is in
order. Or, he could post to the mail list, the maintainer of the printer
stack will probably answer - if the post has the pertinent info :wink:

Also, the ps output could perhaps be cleaned with ps2ps, and then
resubmitted to the printer.

And the file “/tmp/text.rpt” could also be relevant.

Thank you for your help Carlos, using ps2ps printed my report but it was just moved a little bit, but after read the gs man page I found that what that command does is just change the postscript level so what I actually did was run my enscript script with leve1 of postcript and that printed my report just how I need it.
