Have you tried pdf2ps ?

Well, I've got a /usr/bin/pdf2ps , but it's not a graphical app, least I don't think so, Guess someone will have to coach me on how to use it on the CL ?
John
IIRC, it's simply a matter of change to the correct directory, then pdf2ps filname

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]# ls
221915gw.pdf
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]# pdf2ps 221915gw.pdf
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]# ls
221915gw.pdf 221915gw.ps
So that worked, OK,
Now what is the best way to send that to the printer ?
A right mouse click on 221915gw.ps down to ! produced this warning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The desktop entry file /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/convertpstopdf.desktop has an invalid menu entry convertpstopdf. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Click OK, message goes, I continue down to ,
KGhostview, which displays it , but when I select print , same old refusal.
The above suggests the conversion failed, but ?
Maybe not,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]# lp 221915gw.ps request id is Z53c-97 (1 file(s)) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]#
Something is coming off the printer, see image file attatched. Yes, it prints fairish quality, even though Z53c is my best driver. I have 4 to choose from. I guess something is lost maybe in all this conversion.
I think my next best course of action is to get the Acrobat tar ball installed.
