gEDA-dev: Printing from PCB

[Peter Clifton]

I had occasion to print a PCB design from PCB, and discovered (to the
cost of a tree or two), that the print option from my (CVS) version of
PCB will not be interpreted by the printer as postscript, rather, as
text (lots of text).

If I export to .ps then lpr -P printer_name output_name.ps, it prints
fine.

Is there some difference between printing direct from PCB, and via a .ps
file?

The problem is reproducible on the university printers Canon ImageRunner
something-or-other (big paper trays, lots of memory.. big mistake), and
my little HP Laserjet 1200. My printing is via CUPS, and I think the
Univ printers are too (although via SMB shares).
