It worked fine for until 2 weeks ago. Now, when I try to print gs seems to substitute the fonts ok but then it just freezes and may start printing 4 or 5 hours later. I can't even print ascii files. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong? I have talked to one person on #freebsd (irc) who also mentioned having similar problems! At any rate, I am planning to purcahse an HP Laserjet 5MP (postscript) printer. I am wondering if I may be facing the same problems with this postscript printer. Or, the bug, if any, is solely related to gs? I am running FreeBSD 2.0.5R. I would appreciate if you could point me in the right diraction before I invest in a new ps-printer. Thank you for your time. Cihat Ozhasoglu Dept. of Physics SUNY at Buffalo Buffalo, NY 14260-1500 U.S.A.
