Issue

Trying to print out jpegs etc using the lpr command results in 
an error message from printfilter, and yes I have libgr and 
libgr-progs installed. 

Response

The rhs-printfilters-1.44-1.i386.rpm package included in Redhat 5.0 is missing a file. Copy the following into the file:

/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/pnm-to-ps.fpi
and change the permissions to 755

(cut here)
#!/bin/sh
#
# takes pnm from stdin, writes ps to stdout
#
pnmtops

exit 0
(and here)
