David Thiele (thieled@health.qld.gov.au) spake thusly:
: I have just downloaded and installed Adobe Acrobat Reader v3.0.  It
: works just fine except my postscript printer stalls when I try to print
: anything.  I have printed to a file and tried opening the file with
: ghostview (v1.5).  Ghostview comes up with "Error:  /undefinedresource
: in true" followed by what looks like debugging information.  Is there
: anyone with Acrobat experience who could shed some light?

what you need to do is update your installation of ghostview (pretty damn
fast too) to 5.01. Grab it from

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html

also grab the fonts (std and extra), run configure, make and make install.

If you need help, drop me a line and I'll be happy to help.

The second thing you have to do is update your printer filters so that new
version of ghostscript is invoked. I'd recommend magicfilter (try sunsite)
for that since it compiles quite cleanly and handles a ....load of filetypes
