Thanks for the advice, even though I had ghostscript I decided to investigate the ghostscript command in IFHP a bit more, and found out the problem was with the -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER flags. I upgraded to ghostscript 7.05 (espgs 7.05 to be more accurate) and the problem is solved! Thanks again, REL
