Re: Garbled Printing output

Sounds to me like a problem in your print server setup, since the ps
looks fine and gnomeprint's usage of cups works but others' (gv's) usage
of it, or the provided lpr command or whatever your print command is
setup as, does not work. What command are you using in gv or abiword
non-gnome's print dialog?

Strange. A printing bug that does _not_ appear to be AbiWord's fault.
That's gotta be a first (-: *ducks*

Good luck
