It seems that LPD delivers all the data properly, but for some reason, .ps files that I tried to send are not printable (at least the printer thinks so). I generated these from the .pdf files through xpdf or PostScriptViewer and most of time they are good. Unfortunately this one just won't print. Should I try some other software to generate .ps or try printig as a picture, would it help? The error is mentioned in connection with wrong paper size or some other configuration during printing, but I couldn't find more details so far... rasha
