1 Hi,
2
3 Looking into logs, and digging the net, I found that, gs
4 (ghostscript-esp) did segmentation fault.
5
6 I downgrade esp package to 7.07.x, the same, segfault. (1st advice on
7 the net, kubuntu forum).
8
9 Latest ghostscript-gnu (advice from somewhere on the net), the same,
10 segfault.
11
12 I installed the latest ghostscript-afpl, working perfectly.
13
14 Regards,
