Now I know what the problem is. It is the new tunelp for kernel >= 2.1.131
One day, after sending a print job, I read the followingon my console:
Jan 12 13:46:45 sikasso kernel: lp0: the printing could be optimized using the
TRUST_IRQ flag, see the top of linux/drivers/char/lp.c
In this lp.c it is said that printing could be improved using the fillowing command:
tunelp /dev/lp0 -T on
So I inserted it in my /etc/conf.modules and that was the beginning of my problems
with
ps files. After removing this command I can print ps files again.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU ALL FOR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
