Your printer can't handle PostScript. You'll need to select your printer model or a compatible one from the list.

Thanks, again, Marco.
It's an Epson Styllus Colour 580.
I am wondering if there is a way to save this setting so that I won't need to do that every time I want to print something.

I'm fairly sure it can. I can't tell you how though -- I don't need to print from GIMP, and if I would, I have a postscript-capable printer ;)

I had exactly the same problem until I went into the printer setup and altered the "PostScript Level 2" to my "Epson C60". Now it prints fine. Right click in the image and select file->Print and the in Printer Settings selct "Setup Printer" and select your make and model of printer. Don't forget to save your settings else it will default back to "PostScript Level 2"......:-)

Hi!

And why the PostScript Level 2 output can't read with GV (or GS) ? The output of latex document(and even if I print form OO.org into file, with the ,,Generic Printer'' it can be read with gv and and naturaly print to my EpsonC70|HP LaserJet 4L)

Here is the output of gs:

So, how can I print into file, which work with ghostScript?

Thx in advance, Khiraly
