solved, but error persists: kghostview error while rendering to screen
The only thing that works for some PDFs is: - open in xpdf - and print from there via 'lp -d DeviceName' Get's perfect results. Put KPdf, acroread and kghostview are supposed to do the same, aren't they? Thanks for anyone who read, helped, especially Hendrik for his quick response and his hint to install xpdf. Have a nice weekend. -- dekkker at gmx dot ch Wir sind unterwegs im Auftrag des Herrn! -- Oliver Zendel -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GMD/IT d+ s:+ a C++ UL P L+++ W++ N+ K- w- O- PS++ PE- Y+ PGP++ t 5++ X+ R+++ tv+ b++ DI++ D++ G++ e++ h r++ z++ --END GEEK CODE BLOCK-- pgp6u9cHdIEhE.pgp Description: PGP signature

KPdf uses old xpdf and KGhostView uses ghostscript (newer versions render fine but are slower then xpdf and lack some features of PDF). acroread knows nothing about KDE but it should run with kprinter too.

Just tried it, kprinter works as well. Thanks for the hint!

I guess that hardens the suspicion about the cause for this problem being new PDF versions? I don't know the tiniest bit about what ghostscript is for, though... I'm really just a desktop user. -- dekkker at gmx dot ch Hallo Handschuh-Scheeballwerfer! -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GMD/IT d+ s:+ a C++ UL P L+++ W++ N+ K- w- O- PS++ PE- Y+ PGP++ t 5++ X+ R+++ tv+ b++ DI++ D++ G++ e++ h r++ z++ --END GEEK CODE BLOCK-- pgprczC0tjQoj.pgp Description: PGP signature

I don't know the tiniest bit about what ghostscript is for, though... I'm really just a desktop user. ghostscript converts Postscript (the page description language used by better printers, invented by Adobe) to many pixmap formats. Most Unix programms produce Postscript which is rendered by ghostscript to print to simple printers. André
