Felix,

First of all, (and I may have told you this before, but I would like it
recorded in this, and all relevant bugs): this is *not* a bug with the
Ghostscript Postscript output. The GS Postscript is valid - we spent a
lot of time confirming that when these bugs started to come to light.
The fault is with the printer, and the problem really should be reported
to Kyocera. Even if they can't fix it in printers "in the field" they
should be able to debug the problem "directly" on the printer, rather
than the kind of arm's length "reverse engineering" we'll have to
undertake.

If we're going to track down the problem it will probably involve many
interations of me "instrumenting" the Postscript file, you running the
revised PS, and telling me the result.

However, based on past experience, tells me to look at compression filters 
first, and the only one left in there was LZW. So, as a first punt, can you try:
http://www.ghostscript.com/~chrisl/nolzw.ps

IMPORTANT: it must be send directly to the printer (not opened in evince
or other viewer, and printed from there - that would lose all my
changes!). So you need to use:

lpr -P <printer name> -oraw nolzw.ps

There is also a method using netcat but I cannot remember the
details......

If you can try that, and let us know the result.

Thanks,

Chris
