E365 hardcopy
Phil Dobbin
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.

Real computer scientists despise the idea of actual hardware. Hardware
has limitations, software doesn't. It's a real shame that Turing
machines are so poor at I/O.

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...
