Till,

Alas, the Samsung drivers are all closed with no scripts that I can edit. I opened several of the binaries in a hex editor, and I did find an "ExecProgramV" in an ascii section of the rastertosamsungspl binary, but could not find a "-" anywhere. I'm no good at reverse engineering anything, so I guess I'll just have to wait (perhaps a long time?) for the ghostscript fix.

three questions:

1. Do you have any idea where my lpr gui has gone? I used to get two successive print dialogue windows every time I tried to print, the first from the application, then a second LPR GUI window. The LPR gui has gone. I don't miss it, but it had some options on it that one day I might like to use...

2. Prior to posting here, I did try the compile and install of ghostcript, but that didn't seem to work for me. Do you think I might get somewhere by creating the statically linked ghostscript?

3. Where do I sign up/keep checking to see when/if a fix is released?

Lastly, I want to thank you for your help. Amid my frantic frustration in trying to get this PDF to print, I'm suddenly relieved to feel like a part of the community... really, thanks. I now know what the problem is instead of beating my head against an invisible wall.
