Re: gEDA-user: PCB PS printing problems - workaround

[Xtian Xultz <xultz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have exactly the same problem here.
I open the .ps with sketch, but first I convert ir to .sk with pstoedit 
(pstoedit -f sk file.ps file.sk) and inside sketch, I save it as a postscript 
file, and the print become perfect.
