Hi,

I really do not know anything about GS.  I guess I was lucky that mine
worked pretty well "out of the box."  The only thing I can think of is to
give you my working files so you know what works for me.  Maybe you will
see a difference in your files.  I am using gs 4.0.3 which I got from the
Amiga archive.

I guess the only thing I now to ask is whether you are using enscript,
nenscript, or something else.  I am using nenscript, but I can't remember
where I got it.  I set this up about six months ago.

I don't know what else to tell you.  

Mark
