  .zo is a form of PDF document (opens with Okular, Konqueror, and Adobe 
Reader so I'm told. I originally reported this under kde bug 177360 and was 
told it was a QT problem. The file (monthly payment form) is downloaded from 
CitiMortgage website.

I can work around this by:

	1. Download PDFServlet.zo file from CitiMortgage site:
	2. Run  pdftops from command line (pdftops PDFServlet.zo
            Mortgage.ps)
	3. Open Mortgage.ps with GIMP
	4. Select page to print
	5. print it
	6. Done

I just tried printing from Konqueror, and it printed after about 22 minutes. 
I did down grade my kernel last week while working on powerdown problem.

It maybe I have not waited long enough in past. I'll try it from 11.4 later.

Thanks for your help.
