Did you run magicfilterconfig first? If so, I don't know if this will help, but I had problems with printing too. I would get partial printouts, and some docs wouldn't even print at all. I switched gs with gs-aladdin and that fixed my problem. If you're trying to stick with a 'free' system, then I believe that gs-aladdin is in the non-free section. HTH Mark
