Post by: Lazo on April 23, 2002, 01:06:49 AM

Has anyone try the how to print pdf files on e-smith?? I had followed the instructions, everything install with no problemm even the windows part!!, my problem is, when I print to my pdf printer, I see nothing on my ibay (pdfdrop). On my windows queue doesn't appears the file procesing!! maybe it's a windows problem, but there is no indication that something is wrong (no error message). Even when I print, it looks that its working, but there is no input!! :(  does anyone got this error too??

I tried it and it does work, but not for every application. I had good luck printing Word documents.
As far as troubleshooting.
1. Print to file using your postscript driver and copy that file to /usr/bin/  -- just to have it in the same folder as prindpdf script.
2.Try to create file PDF directly from command line
/usr/bin/printpdf yourfilename.ps
This should create yourfilename.pdf or it will give you error messages that will help in further troubleshooting.
