From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: a2ps used to convert text files to postscript before sending them to printer. At the moment it seems that the conversion fails as the postscript printer (HPLJ 4050N) doesn't print. In addition if printing to postscript file and viewing it with gv - ghostscript fails with errors or gv displays empty page only with frame around it. I don't know what magic a2ps uses to convert text to postscript so it may be possible that actual fault is in some other place. This used to work in RH 7.0 & 6.2. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. print any text file with a2ps 2. 3. Additional info: I use Polish ("pl_PL") locale and latin2 encoding but the latter doesn't seem to matter. The fault disappers when locale is set to "en_GB" or "C". If locale is set to "en" a2ps dumps core.
