No, that was the other guys (Michael) statement.

I can view but but they hang when printing.  This problem started following my 
upgrade from v9.0 to v9.1 in late May, early June and initially I hit several 
lists for advice to try and locate where the problem.

Here is an earlier mail to Michael as he was the only person to respond.  I'm 
not sure why he couldn't open them with KGhostview whereas I can.  It seems 
like it may be an unusual and quirky problem.

In which circumstances can't you print the file? I tried to view it
with gv, it works. However it fails with kghostview. If your problem
occurs within kghostview, then you should contact kghostview developer.


Michael recently came back to me again, so I thought I had better follow-up to 
KGhostview, even though it is late.

Also note, I have since upgraded to kde 3.1.2 (texstar RPM's) but the problem 
remains.

If I go to applications|publishing|Kghostview|settings|configure Kghostview

select ghostscript then click configure, nothing happens.

kdegraphics-3.1.2-3tex

ghostscript-7.05-53.2mdk


I'd be interested if you can print them.

Sorry I am not more help.  Spoonfeed me commands etc. and I'll try and get you 
all the info I can.
