Subject: Print Queue for PS2PDF - help with Perl

Good morning all!  

I found this site Friday and have been trying to setup a PDF print queue on my home linux 
computer/network.  

> PS2PDF Print Queue How To
> 
> http://ayesha.phys.virginia.edu/~bryan/ps2pdf/

I commented out all of the references to mailing to PDF file out of the Perl script (because I only 
have a small network at home and just need the converted file dumped to a shared directory on the 
Linux computer).  

The status.pr file in /var/spool/lpd/mosspdf returned a Ghostscript unrecoverable error (file 
attached).  I can run ps2pdf from terminal on the same PS files with no errors.  

Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.  

Thank you very much!
