Greetings,
I am a newbie using pcb 20110918 under KDE 4.8, Xorg 1.12 and Slackware 
Linux 14.0 (K3.2.29) with an HP Laserjet 8150DN networked printer with 
Postscript, HP-PCL and 104MB of ram.

When I used File -> Print Layout when doing the tutorial (Getting 
Started with pcb), it worked fine for both LED and fb-blinker layouts.  
Now that I have completed my small (2 x 3") thru-hole board and try to 
print it out, I get the first 6 pages, but the remaining 5 pages are not 
printed and lpr (Cups) hangs "processing" forever.  I have several 
"logical" printers on this physical printer.  One uses the Foomatic PS 
to PCL converter, another uses Gutenprint, and one uses the native 
Postscript (Cups PS driver). All three exhibit the same symptoms.  I 
have tried using different options in the print layout window, but 
nothing I have done changes the result.  The Gerber files look fine with 
gerbv.  Sounds like a pcb Postscript generation problem.

Is this a known problem with this pcb version or is it something new?
Any suggestions or work-arounds to fix it?

Thanks.
