[Wylug-help] Problem printing postscript file

With GSView (on Windoze.... please don't tease me!) it complains about:
%%Pages on line 3
%%BeginResources on line 14
%%EndResources on line 37

Commenting these out (changing %% to %) results in an image that displays (with no errors).

Can you preview it with ghostview (or the like) or or use GS to render it to a bitmap that you can view?

Hi Nik,

My printer system is installed fine and I can print other postscript documents
and documents from apps like Openoffice with no problems.

It appears to be just this one document that the printing system doesn't like.
