jthing Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 I get this error when trying to print to pdf. I have configured guarddog, CUPS631 UDP 631. This has happened b4. but i dont know why.. Catastrophe! - KNotify A print error occurred. Error message received from system: Abnormal process termination (gs -q -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$out{/home/jeffrey/Desktop/print.pdf} -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -c .setpdfwrite -f '/tmp/kde-jeffrey/kdeprint_LP0w8TUJ' ).

tyme Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 My suggestion is to try running that command in a terminal to see if you can extrapolate a better error message. That is, run this as a regular user in a console: gs -q -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$out{/home/jeffrey/Desktop/print.pdf} -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -c .setpdfwrite -f '/tmp/kde-jeffrey/kdeprint_LP0w8TUJ' I know, it's a long line, you'd be best copy and pasting it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
