Yeah, but PDF _is_ PostScript, with a bit of wrapping around it. PDF to PS conversion is little more than unpackaging, with a nod to security. It's not a rendering stage. If it's still feeding the unpackaged PS to the printer, for the printer to do the rendering, the problem is *still* with the printer! Jon -- SPAM BLOCK IN USE!
