Thus, it is *very* possible that your ghostscript isn't properly installed e) I don't quite understand how you do to use the ghostscript of another machine. Please, try to print in a file some *small* part of the code. The print file should contain PS. Send it to me in attachment so that I can analyse the code. FII, when you launch a print command on the local machine which is configured to connect through network to a remote printer, it's the local ghostscript that renders the printing. The resulting PS code is sent as is through the network, and no other mechanism than simple piping is occuring on the print server. f) What kind of printer you have? (I guess it's a color ink-jet one). Did you try to print with other programs too? It's only kwrite that defects?
