Hi,
you could try using a different ghostscript version as this seems to be a ghostscript issue.
regards,
Robin
I tried the two versions that come with pdfcreator 1.61 (9.03) and 1.71 (9.07)
I reported the bug to the ghostscript developers and they told me that ghostscript didn’t understand PCL so this may not be solvable at all
Hi,
yes sorry PCL is not supported.
regards,
Robin
