I spent two days design a publication, and the draft must be printed tomorrow. I only have this Laserjet ps level 2 printer in the office, if I could not print it, I'll have to find another good print shop to do it.
1) print with postscript level 3 make the printer puzzle. Nothing gets printed. 2) print with postscript level 2, nothing gets printed, ghostscript coredumps. 3) print to a ps file at level 2, 0 byte file created, ghostscript coredumps. 4) print to a ps file at level 3, upload it to http://createpdf.adobe.com and Adobe give me back a pdf file. Print the PDF file by acroread5, the printer busy flash LED for one hour and prompt "low printer memory". (Print job size is 2.4 MB and printer memory is 24MB.) 5) export the file as 150 dpi raster image file, print the file using cups lp(1), result is ugly and hard to recognize, all fonts less than 9pt could not read, not clear. 6) export as svg not tried: I don't have good apps to print in that format. 7) export as PDF file, acroead (both Windows version 6 and Linux version 5) prompt "error number 122" and half of the pulication objects are not visible (most notibly, the two charts) So there is no way to print it :( I don't know why, I am only designing a one page report with two charts (vector graphics), and scribus takes 10 min to load saved document on my PIII 800MHz 256 MB memory freeBSD box, and swap memory usage grows very soon from 0MB to 321MB. Is scribus this CPU hungary?
