gEDA-user: PCB PS printing problems - workaround



Hi all,

Both George M. Gallant, Jr and I reported some bugs in PCB printing; one
of these was the wrong style of line endings when physically printing
PostScript output from PCB, resulting in slivers of white at bevel trace
junctions. EPS files print fine, but the left and lower margins are
messed up because EPS is not meant for direct printing.

Also, mirrored output function didn't work for PS, although it does work
for EPS.

A good workaround turns out to be pretty simple: take the EPS file, and
convert it to PDF using epstopdf. The resulting PDF file is printed just
fine.

I hope this will helps others with the same problems.

Regards,

Richard Rasker
