The ML-1610 isn't a postscript printer anyway -- it needs the gdi driver, originally from Samsung. http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/samsung-gdi/README.txt says The original driver from Samsung has a bug. It does not print all files. The driver compresses the page's bitmap in bands. If a band happens to have a size bigger than 64 kB after compressing the printer cannot print it. This means that complex documents are unlikely to print. One "workaround" is to set the document's resolution to 300 dpi. It is supposed to be possible to patch the driver to fix this, but I've never got that far (my Samsung went faulty first...) The patch is in http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/samsung-gdi . Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | Blessed are the pessimistic, for they take backups. aprilcottage.co.uk |
