I don't recognize "tcc".  Is this Borland Turbo C?  In any case, there
is a subtle incompatibility between 1.5 and 2.0, and Ghostscript must be
compiled with the correct one.  I've switched to 2.0, and I think I
made the switch before release 1.2; in any case release 1.3 will require
Turbo C 2.0, but we will also distribute gs.exe already compiled and
linked.

There are several people doing printer back ends.  You should be hearing
from them.  The only ones I remember are doing dot matrix or fax, but
it should be easy to write a driver that puts out, e.g., whatever the
H-P printers eat.
