Hi Helge !

I have tried what you suggested with no luck - and I have now tried to print with debugmode on. You can find the log at http://dev.henes.no/CUPS/error_log.txt. I must admit that I am not an expert - but I see that the new gstoraster is loaded ok - and then “rastertolabel” is started. From what I understand this looks quite successful, but I hope that you may have the opportunity to look at it with your trained eye ;-)

Best regards,

johan
