gsprint 1.4 under Redmon and Windows 2000 SP1

[Dave Ulrick]

Hi,

I'm running Ghostscript 6.50 and Gsview 3.6 under Windows 2000 Service 
Pack 1.  I've been trying to use gsprint 1.4 with Redmon 1.5 to convert 
and print incoming Postscript data to a Windows GDI printer (a Canon 
BubbleJet BJC-250).  My gsprint.cfg is as follows:

-printer
Canon BubbleJet BJC-250
-ghostscript
C:\Program Files\gs\gs6.50\bin\gswin32c.exe
-color
-I"C:\Program Files\gs\gs6.50\lib;C:\Program Files\gs\fonts"

If I enter "gsprint file.ps" or "gsprint - <file.ps" from a command prompt,
the file prints exactly as I'd like.  The problem occurs when I try to
run gsprint using Redmon.  My redirected port is named RPT2:.  As the
program name, I've entered:

        c:\program files\ghostgum\gsview\gsprint.exe

My arguments are:

        -debug -

The logfile resulting from an attempt to print to my Redmon-supported
printer results in these messages from gsprint:

Couldn't open Windows GDI printer driver
Printer name: "Canon BubbleJet BJC-250"

If I change the printer name to something else, whether it's a valid
printer name (such as my HP Laserjet 2100) or nonsense, I always get 
the message "Couldn't open windows GDI printer driver".

A search of Dejanews turns up only one user with a similar problem, but
I don't see anything regarding any solution he may have found.  Have I
found a bug with gsprint, Ghostscript, or redmon under Windows 2000 SP1,
or do I have something set up wrong?
