Hi, Edwin.  It's possible that ghostscript (or at least the particular driver
you're using) can only handle level 1.  Other apps besides StarOffice would
work fine assuming they only generate level 1.  Which ghostscript driver are
you currently using anyway?  cdj550 or the new DJ9xx?  I wonder if that would
make a difference?  In any case, I'm glad it works for you now.

I wholeheartedly recommend using the DJ9xx driver from
hpinkjet.sourceforge.net. It was trivial to install the RPMs and the
print quality is substantially better than the cdj550 driver. Note that
it replaces your entire Ghostscript interpreter system, so this may help
your printing problem. I have Level 2 set in my SO printer configuration
and it works like a champ (although now I have to get some paper which
absorbs a little less ink :-).

Thanks Allen, I have been using the cdj550 driver with level 2 and appare=
ntly=20
the cdj970 driver didn't like level 2. I just had a look on the site you=20
mention and saw that there were no binaries for Mandrake yet, perhaps I'l=
l=20
try the Redhat RPM's or I might install the binaries.

Edwin
