I confirm these facts:

* that konqi isn't printing any more on my standard office printer:
   HP LaserJet 8000 ("Mopier") with PostScript Level 2 emulation.

* konqi prints onto a PostScript Level 3 printer (original Adobe
   RIP)

* I get this PostScript error for the level 2 printer:

     ERROR: rangecheck
     OFFENDING COMMAND: image
     STACK:
     -dictionary-

* I can view the konqi printfile just fine, using kprinter --> preview.
   Both, gv and kghostview do work as previewers. My gs version is
   SP Ghostscript 7.05.5 (2002-09-02) (my own compilation).

* I can "Print to File (PostScript" with kprinter and view the file.
   But printing this from the command line doesn't work for level 2 printer
   -- same PostScript error.

* My suspicion goes to the PostScript prolog (made by Qt) which has a line
   (around line 39 of the PS file):

   "QCIcolor x 2 add get 0.11 mul add add cvi put}for QCIgray image}ie}D/di{"

   containing the "OFFENDING COMMAND" above mentioned.

* it printed fine until about 4 days ago (my last konqi printouts according
   to my CUPS page_log and job history).

* I had a ~week old qt-copy and ~week old KDE-CVS HEAD compilation until
   the weekend.

* over the weekend I updated qt-copy and CVS to KDE_3_1_RELEASE


I will now do a few more tests later (I need to go away now for an hour or
so), including prints to non-PostScript printers.

Cheers,
Kurt
