E365 hardcopy

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi, all.

Out of the blue this morning my Debian Squeeze Vim (7.2.445 console=huge
GUI=gtk2+huge) has started throwing the hardcopy error:

`E365: Failed to print Postscript file`

this is on both the GUI & console Debian supplied Vims.

Apt hasn't downloaded & installed any print updates recently & I can
print the same test files from gedit, etc.

Last time I had this on setting up Vim on Fedora it was a print
preferences error (different name for the printer than specified in my
vimrc) but this is not the case in this instance.

I printed from this Vim on this machine a couple of days ago no problem
& I haven't altered my runtime or machine settings in the meantime.

Any help appreciated,

Cheers,

Phil...

- Any recent changes in the PostScript / groff / other related… packages
on your system?
- See also ":help print.txt" and in particular:
- :help print-intro
- :help print-options

Best regards,
Tony.

Hi, Tony.

No, nothing has changed on the system (only nagios has been installed &
that came without the print monitor option) & I've read & re-read the
above help files several times but nothing in there seems to be relevant.

`h: E365` isn't much help either I find, so I'm stumped. I have exactly
the same runtime files on my Vim in OS X & that's OK so that probably
excludes a plugin problem.

I'll have to run `dpkg -l` & sift through that to see if I can spot
anything blindingly obvious but I'd've thought if that was the case all
the other apps that I can print from would suffer too (lpr can print
from the command line too).

Cheers,

Phil...

I solved the hardcopy problem by commenting out the `pdev` line in my
vimrc. Why Vim decided it was no longer correct is a mystery. It
hadn't changed for months. I can only surmise that a fractional change
in something somewhere caused this but I haven't been able to trace it.

Before, Vim wouldn't print without it, now it won't print with it.

Cheers,

Phil...
