That way you could tell whether the problem is Mupad producing bad postscript, or whether Ghostscript is getting the error due to bugs in Ghostscript itself. >The postscript file I would like to print starts with > >%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-2.0 >%%Title: >%%Creator: >%%Orientation: >%%BoundingBox: 0 0 686 486 This is an EPS file, and as such it is expected to be included in some other postscript file. It might be that the encapsulation (the 'E' in 'EPS') is doing something which confuses Ghostscript. I realize this does not really help you with your problem, but it is about the most that I could think to suggest. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
