I posted this sometime back and was never able to get a satisfactory solution. Maybe someone can give me some better pointers now..
When I try to print a file using dvips quantum.dvi command, what prints out is the following: %!PS-Adobe-2.0 %%Creator: dvips(k) 5.86d Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software %%Title: quantum.dvi %%Pages: 1 %%PageOrder: Ascend ....(more header then a page full of misc garbage) When I go to the www.radicaleye.com page, it says if you are receiving the %!PS at the beginning of a file and you don't know how to print it, you need to install GhostScript. When I was running stable the dvips command would print fine. After upgrading to woody, I encountered this problem. I tried upgrading to sid, but no luck, same problem. According to apt, I have the latest gs package installed, I also tried install the Aladdin ghostscript package but I got the same results from it. This is a frustrating problem as I need to be able to print a letter with latex. thanks dale
