Print Preview doesn't work

[Stephan Matthiesen]

Hi,

I have a problem with print preview and would like to get to the bottom of it. 
Is there anybody who is experiencing similar things or give me an idea what 
to try next?

Using KDE 3.2. When I select the print preview (from any KDE program), I just 
get an error message:

 Öffnen nicht möglich (=Cannot open) 
 /tmp/kde-stephan/kdeprint_vQVPbT9d 

after clicking on ok, I get the preview window but completely empty (gray) 
except for the "print" and "cancel" buttons (in the center left, not at the 
bottom). No preview! 

However, printing without preview works fine, i.e. it comes out of the printer 
as expected, nothing wrong. I have no filters defined, just standard 
settings, and it works ok with two different printers (local Lexmarkz25 and 
HP500 Network printer). But no preview.

I think I have narrowed it down that the preview calls ghostscript with a 
command line like:
gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -dNODISPLAY ps2ai.ps 
'/tmp/kde-stephan/kdeprint_ASC0DGiz'
and this fails.

More details can be found in the bug report:

Any ideas? Similar experiences? Something I could try? Thanks in advance!

Cheers
Stephan
