[Eclug] Anyone with some postscript ideas???

Fellow luggers:

In my quest to print formatted labels to a Dymo USB label printer via 
cups I've learned that this device WILL accept a postscript document and 
translate it to raster as needed.  I tried lp'ing a ps document to the 
device name and the output was indeed formatted.

So my next step is to be able to replicate the postscript detail as 
output from my php program as it is piped to lp.  Sounds easy enough.

So, I thought, lets create a formatted label with openoffice and output 
it to a postscript printer as a file then take a look at the resulting 
file and I should have what I need.  Simple so it sounds.  And do that 
is exactly what I did.

However, the resulting "postscript" file is 500K for an 8 line address 
label and when I look through it I see nothing in the way of text 
strings but tons of binary (ok - hex) data.  In fact, the vast majority 
of the output seems to be hex in what appears to be a downloadable font.

Therefore, before I dig my hole all the way to China (may they could 
help me) I was hoping some of you "guys" might has some postscript 
experience and/or knowledge that you could share to guide me through 
trying to figure this out?

Anyone have any ideas as to how I can accomplish creating a "template" 
that I can use in my php program to "wrap" around my output?

Advice/suggestions/recommendations ALL appreciated!

Thanks,

Bob

ps:  if need by I can email you the .odt format file to play with...
