That might help clean > up the file a bit. That was one of the first things I tried. The resulting PDF was just as bad as the original. However, while waiting for a response from the creator of the document I discovered a solution. I had earlier discovered that I could not get output with either the PCL or PS drivers from Adobe Reader 9.1 on Windows. Reader / Windows happily sent the file to the printer, but the output was full of errors. So, instead of printing to the printer from Reader / Windows I printed to file. Windows creates .prn files instead of .ps files - not sure what the difference is. But I do know that sending the .prn file via lpr works great. Still no "RIP once, print many," but it RIPs so fast that it still gives me 85% of the rated speed of the printer. I do not understand why the PS file that I created by printing to file from Okular on Jaunty would not output at all. Clearly, there is a difference between the PS created by Okular and the PRN created by Reader / Windows. Note that I should not have had to go through all this. I still think the original PDF is somehow messed up. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
