How are you printing this file? With lp/lpr? The file is the result of printing the email, from Evolution via the GTK+ print dialog, to a test queue created like this: lpadmin -p test -E -v file:/tmp/printout -P /etc/cups/ppd/dell2330.ppd > > printer-bug-public-repro.ps has > > %%Creator: GPL Ghostscript 919 (ps2write) > > so it looks like pdftops was involved in producing it. > > > I've tried using lpoptions to set the queue to use pdftops instead of > > gs, but it doesn't help.

Ok, that explains it. I thought pdftops might be involved in converting whatever Evolution (via GTK+'s printing system) output to PS for the printer to process. > Regards, > > Brian. -- Sam Morris <https://robots.org.uk/> CAAA AA1A CA69 A83A 892B 1855 D20B 4202 5CDA 27B9
