The ps2pdf command gives you more flexibility than using it as a printer. I found the documentation on http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/8.00/Ps2pdf.htm (It's probably installed locally somewhere, but I can't be bothered to find it :-) It says that "ps2pdf is a work-alike for nearly all the functionality (but not the user interface) of Adobe's AcrobatTM DistillerTM product" But I can see no mention of the permissions you (Eko) mention. -- Richard Urwin
