I'm filtering through ghostscript to a remote queue on a windows box. I just tried it out most of the non-KDE apps I have that send output to the printer, and in most cases that works fine. Usually the only non KDE app I print from is AbiWord, and for some reason that crashes when I try to print to anything but a postscript or pdf file. But the problem seems to be confined to that one program. Oper printed without a hitch. -- Is death legally binding?
