Hello,
I was trying to save some space on my hard disk, and I erase
/var/spool/texfonts, thinking that was not dangerous, that the fonts would
be recreated when needed.
The result is that I cannot print anymore any .ps document created by
% latex toto
% dvips toto
lpr does not give any error message. the document is sent to the printer
and the printer does not print (it was printing successfully before my
horrible rm -Rf /var/spool/texfonts).
% lpr -h -Precto toto.ps && lpq -Precto
kiwi: sending to arpeges-hp1-poly.obspm.fr

I tried to pkg_delete teTeX, and re-install it from the pkgsrc, but it
does not change anything.
I found a trick that quite works :
% ps2pdf toto.ps
% pdf2ps toto.pdf toto.ps
but the printer prints something completly smeared.
Has someone ever solved that kind of problem ?
Thanks,
