My problem is not printing itself, it is gv. I reply here in
case this can help, I just found this problem 3 hours ago.
Probably I will formulate a question for alt.os.linux.slackware.
I have these softwares/systems, similar to OP:
- Slackware 10.2+ (slackware-current 2006-01-??, not far from 10.2)
- GNU Emacs 21.4.2
- CUPS 1.1.23
- ESP Ghostscript 8.15rc4 (slack package espgs-8.15rc4...)
- gv-3.5.8
- HP LaserJet 4m (PostScript) printer (second hand).
I have *similar* problem, not same, with slackware-10.2 emacs
and gv to view, using gv, PostScript files from
emacs ps print to file (ps-print-region / ps-print-buffer.)
In fact, I suppose (who can be sure in this complex world?)
this is Slackware-10.2 gv (gv-3.5.8), not emacs, that has or
from which comes my problem.
Slackware-10.1 gv (gv-3.5.8, *same* version) does NOT have
this problem.
Here the creation and display of PS files:
slack-10.1$ emacs # C-u M-x ps-print-region ; TO emacs-slack-10.1.ps
slack-10.1$ gv emacs-slack-10.1.ps #> no problem
Similarly for an emacs PS file created on Slackware-10.2,
gv on Slack-10.1 displays it correctly :
slack-10.1$ gv emacs-slack-10.2.ps #> no problem
However these ps files from slack-10.1 or 10.2 emacs ps-print commands
have problems in gv of slackware-10.2.
First, these ps files are printed (on paper!) correctly:
slack-10.2$ lpr emacs-slack-10.1.ps #> Ok.
However gv on Slack-10.2+ has the problem :
slack-10.2$ gv emacs-slack-10.1.ps #> PROBLEM:
This is postscript page 1 showing the error (NOT a msg box!):
# ERROR: configurationerror
# OFFENDING COMMAND: setpagedevice
# STACK:
- dictionary -
# ERRORINFO:
false
/ManualFeed
Hope this bring some light (umm... possibly darkens too!).
