I did not relate the success to the number of pages but I can tell you that the imput file is 60kb and when using gs to view it it looks enormous but when I print it it looks just fine.
However if I try the same process using pipes: smb2ps infile | pstopnm -stdout - | pnmtojpeg > file
Does not work.
The reason it does not work in pipe is that the [EMAIL PROTECTED]@# pstopnm
command adds it's own garbage to the output file when working using
stdio which is the same message you see on stdout using real files.
I just picked a random ps file (well, I knew it was not multipage) and did
cat foo.ps | pstopnm -stdout - | pnmtojpeg > foo.jpeg
and then looked at the result with xv - looked OK to me...
Then I tried a 2-page ps file and got the first page OK, but ghostscript died in the middle of an acute case of SIGPIPE.
I don't know if it is possible to deal with multiple pages.
