So this means that kde is working ok, that is the .ps output is valid. I had problems w/ apps that put out invalid .ps in the past. This is not the case here. I suspect that there is a problem w/ the printer config under cups. However, did you say that some jobs were able to print? Sorry, I was not sure. I thought you meant that only certain pages, such as asp could not print. Is this true? From what I know about this now, I'm guessing pure html would be a problem as well.

I looked at the file and it looks great, well as good as .ps files do under gs. :) I'm assuming you have an HP laser printer. Right? This is good news, as these printers are dead easy to configure and debug under linux (compared w/ inkjets). Here are my guesses for now: 1. Printer is not configured correctly. Test: can you print _any_ .ps files properly? If yes, then which ones? How do printable ones differ from non-printable ones? 2. Level of .ps is not compatible w/ the printer you are using. This one bit me. The .ps standard has a few levels. I force all my output to level 1 as I have a cheap laser printer. Answer a few more questions and maybe we can get further with this one. Fred
