Question

I don’t print from vim often, so I am not sure when this happened.

I cannot print (ha[rdcopy] from vim or gVim.

I get the error

E365: Failed to print Postscript File

I am running on Ubuntu 10.04.

I am looking for ideas on things to configure as well as anyone who has had experience with this problem and might have an answer.

Not a lot of clues there…

Starting Vim with verbose turned on gvim -V
and doing :hardcopy might produce some clues.

Also, this might also be useful :set printexpr?

You can also check if the regular command lps is working, and whether you have the default printer set up correctly. Another useful command is set pdev=printer_name
