Maybe I remember wrong about importing ps in previous versions. About the sample ps file. i created that because a drawing ps I tried to import didn't work (failed with the same error), so tried a simpler file, the text only ps.
I found that I could display these both files fine using various ps viewers including ghostscript, without error messages. However the error appears when -dDELAYBIND is used. I'd like to test some sample files, but I can not find them on my system. Looking at the files installed by the packages pstoedit and ghostscript, there are none. Am I missing something?
