Troubleshooting
7-14
On my PCL (or GDI) printer, I
sometimes get error messages
printing instead of my document.
Unfortunately, some Unix applications may generate non-compliant
PostScript output that may not be supported by Ghostscript, or even the
printer itself in PostScript mode. You can try to capture the output to a file and
view the results with Ghostscript (gv or ghostview will allow you to do so
interactively) and see if you get error messages.
However, since the application is probably at fault, contact your software ven-
dor to inform them of the issue.
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
Some color images come out all
black. This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.05)
when the base color space of the document is indexed color space and it is
converted through CIE color space. Because Postscript uses CIE color
space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your
system to at least GNU Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You can find recent
Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript.com.
