Postscript printing with DU 4.0B

From: <brh2u_at_ms.virginia.edu>

We had trouble loading DU 4.0 due to an intermittant CD read problem,
which allowed a portion of the installation to work, however crashes
were constant. Thank you to:

and anyone else I may have forgotten to mention.

Our present problem is that now that the system is stable we can't print PS.
We added a new disk when we upgraded from 2.0 to DU 4.0 so we did a
complete install. We copied over the /etc/printcap and /usr/hpfilter
files from the 2.0 version osf. We can print but the HP LaserJet 4
no longer recognizes Postscript and simply prints the character
strings. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
