problem with gs package in testing? (printing problems in Mozilla)
I am using Mozilla 1.6-5 and also Firefox 0.8-2 on my Debian Sarge
(2.4.24-1-686) system. I am having printing problems when I print from
Mozilla.
In Print dialog if I choose to print to a file, I have the following
choices:
xp_ps_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@:64
xp_pdf_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@...
Postscript/Default
No matter which ps choice I use, if I try to magnify any area from the
resulting ps file (by selecting the area using the mouse and trying to
magnify it 64 times), my computer gets really busy. Top shows gs is
using most of cpu. The magnified window never shows the magnified ps
content but ends in Ghostscript Error. The error window though has
nothing in it.
Is somebody else experiencing this behavior? Or any tips on how to solve
this?
Here is what other related stuff I have (if I have missed something,
just let me know and I will specify that too):
