I have tried this - ps2pdf ends with a segmentation fault, I have also 
tried the other suggestions from Les Bell to no avail.

The printer I'm using is a HP Officejet 6313 - there is no exact match 
in the HPJIS driver's list of printer - so I've used the closest match - 
Office Jet 6150. If anyone has a better suggestion I'd be happy to try it.

If this issue cannot be resolved, I will have to revert to FF2.
