@Betsy Did you transfer information from your Macbook Pro to your iMac? You can look in your System Preferences:Sharing panel to see what your computer name is. That's where the terminal is getting it's information.

@Betsy It does respond to the cd command. You can see "desktop" is in the second line instead of "~". You might have better luck just typing "cd" (without the quotes), and dragging and dropping the first folder (Ghostscript) onto the Terminal window, and hitting return after it autofills in the path to the folder. Then follow the rest of the instructions. When it's time to switch to the next folder (foomatic-filters) repeat the dragging and dropping with that folder.

Okay . . . I am NOT a programmer, not play one on TV.

I downloaded the XCode, GhostScript, foomatic, foo2hp . . . Installed the XCode.

But, when I open the Terminal application is shows the following (and won’t respond to the cd desktop instruction) :
Last login: Tue Mar 2 11:05:37 on ttys000
mac-users-macbook-pro-1192:~ macuser$ cd desktop
mac-users-macbook-pro-1192:desktop macuser$

I am grateful for whatever help you can give me!

Please and thank you in advance.
