I haven't used it, but based on the name it should only handle ps files, not pdf. That would be the problem. If it _can_ view pdf files, I find it a bit strange that it wouldn't know how to pipe it through gs to the printer. Maybe there's KDE setting for that. If you open it in xpdf and print the file, you can send the file to the printer (cat <filename>.ps | lpr) or (lpr <filename>.ps), you could open it up with ghostview (gv <filename>.ps) and print it from there, you could use pdf2ps on the pdf file and make a ps file out of it and send it to the printer at the same time (pdf2ps <filename>.pdf | lpr), you could download acrobat reader and view/print it from there and a whole host of other things. -- Easily amused. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
