I've set up a /dev entry for my Epson 740 USB printer (mknod /dev/usb/usblp0
c 180 0). All the .upp, ps-to-printer and printerdb files are installed in
/usr/share/ghostscript. As root I have set up a suitable local printer entry
via printtool.

When I attempt to print a test file in printtool I get an error message
"Get_local_host: hostname 'localhost' bad". What is this telling me and how
do I solve it?

Thanks
