Still not able to print, but a different error message (postscript error). Checked a test ps file with ghostview and got the following error: "CRIT: rangecheck in get Operand stack: /usr/local/share/fonts/marlett.ttf" Deleted the font file, updated ghostscript configuration and all printers now working perfectly. I now realize the original printing problem started after I added some fonts from the Windows partition. Thanks to all who offered advice. Dave
