Which is your printer command? Can you use instead of a ps-print-* command the matching ps-spool-* = command? The latter will produce a buffer *PostScript*. You can save = that buffer's contents to a file. Can you view the file in a PostScript = viewer? Can you convert it to PDF and display the PDF file? Finally: can = you manually print the PS or PDF file? Which utilities did you use to = display and convert? Are the variables printer-name (for ASCII) or ps-printer-name (for = PS/PDF) set in GNU Emacs? How is printing working when you launch = (another) GNU Emacs with -Q, i.e., without any customisation (except = that by debian/ubuntu)? Another option is stop the printing system. Then everything you send to = the printer is just spooled into a queue, in /var/spool/cups or such. = You then can examine what was sent to the printer. -- Mit friedvollen Gr=FC=DFen Pete One-Shot Case Study, n.: The scientific equivalent of the four-leaf clover, from which it = is concluded all clovers possess four leaves and are sometimes green.
