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
