Well the whole story isn't so pleasant

ghostcript isnt the problem either its the font file.

You can try removing the font file as listed in ghostscript.

I tried to remove the font and in my case the whole machine did a dummy spit, because I ended up removing a whole set of fonts and one was needed as part of the boot process.

In the end I just copied/tar'ed the /home/ directory to my ftp server and did a fresh install.

30 min later the printer was working fine with a fresh install.

The lesson to be learnt from this, is to be really careful what fonts you install, I used to just throw anything on the machine, now I have a cd with the base windows fonts and a few odds and ends and thats all I ever use.

Anyway thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
