Hi, your error seems to happen with old versions of gs-aladdin (the problems happen when gs is execuder with user=root or group=root AND the output is sent to the stdout). Which version are you using? You could consider to install gs-aladdin 5.03-1 (in hamm); this requires a libc6 system however... Otherwise you can try to modify your filter file as follows: replace > # PostScript > 0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r300 > -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=- - with; # Postscript 0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r300 -sDEVIC=ljet4 -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" - 3>&1 1>&2 > Anybody has any clue.

The GS> promt can be avoided by adding -c quit at the end of the gs command, like in: gs -q -dSEFAR -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=your_device -sOutputFIle=tmp_file \ you_file.ps -c quit Ciao, Marco -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
