I posted this to gnu.ghostscript.bug and got ZERO response:

I have a similar problem.  I built gs on an HP 9000/3XX (HP-UX 7.0) with
the X11 and LaserJet drivers.  I tried to generate output for the printer
with:

% gs -DNODISPLAY

Besides something going wrong here, it is not at all apparent to me how I would
get the result to `lp' for printing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
