    I don't know about that, but it also does not work in a full installation 
of SW9.1 - but with only one dependancy missing - libstdc++.so.6 => not found.

    That would be my choice also.

   I have the same problem, but only with pages that have been set greater 
than A4 - which is also the default for my printer, which may be a clue as to 
how to fix it. Perhaps editing the printcap or deskjetfilter (in my case).
