This system is mostly rex, with some bo additions: lpr: 5.9-13 a2ps, apsfilter: not installed gs-alladin: 4.03-7 gs-fonts: 4.01-3 I think the most important thing we have in common is gs-aladdin. Can you print if you use the filte directly, like in `filter < bla.ps'? This works for me. Eric Meijer -- E.L.
