i don't know if this is related to recent postscript
printer troubles, but i have no problems talking to
the local printer. the problem is font support.
to support fonts, gs is run to convert to a postscript
bitmap. unfortunately, gs isn't up to this task:
; bind /n/sources/plan9/386/bin/gs /bin/gs # make sure its not me
; pdf2ps upasexp.pdf /tmp/x.ps
Error: /syntaxerror in -file-
Operand stack:
--nostringval-- 916 6921 40 78 --nostringval--
Execution stack:
%interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push

Current allocation mode is local

Current file position is 53619

using gs 7.04 from the dump works perfectly.
bummer!
