I don't know why this is in a linux newsgroup but....

I suffered with this problem for about a year and a half. It was present
under OS/2, Linux and FreeBSD. The simple answer is that neither the 10e
nor the 200 modes in ghostscript are properly compatible with the 330.

If there is a solution other than using a different printer, I never found
it.
