The file was the general handbook of FreeBSD. I have found the same 
problem whilst using KDE tools. I'll try what happens after having 
updated the Ghostscript engine, this one is at least 1 1/2 years old. 
I have had no time to check the same with GNUstep tools, because of 
compilation errors outside the ports.

I didn't know what 'print to file' means. I was thinking it was simply 
an option to send the printer a print-job already coded, without 
starting the program [OO], which generated the job itself.

Thanks as always [eventually CC me, I am not prepared enough to
