Greetings,
This is a follow-up to my first posting on this problem. I did some
tests and the problem seems to be with the turret terminal footprints I
created. When I deleted all instances of this element, the export
postscript looks fine in my viewer and it prints fine. No blank pages or
print hangs.
Now, my question is what is wrong with my footprint? The "Pin"
statement looks a bit funny, but my copy of the "Footprint Creation for
the open-source layout program "PCB" " document is over 10 years old, so
I may not have the latest information on the footprint format. I cannot
seem to find any newer documentation on footprint creation and
specifications on http://pcb.geda-project.org/. Is there a good site to
find such information?
FYI:
Below is a snippet of the .pcb file definition for one of the instances
of my terminal footprint.
...
Element["" "E-200x095.fp" "E4" "unknown" 100000 30000 15000 -5000 0 100 ""]
(
Pin[0 0 20000 2000 20600 9500 "1" "1" ""]
ElementArc [0 0 11000 11000 270 90 1000]
ElementArc [0 0 11000 11000 0 90 1000]
ElementArc [0 0 11000 11000 90 90 1000]
ElementArc [11000 0 0 0 0 90 1000]
ElementArc [0 0 11000 11000 180 90 1000]
)
...
Here is the contents of the E-200x095.fp footprint file:
Element["" "" "E?" "" 220000 139000 7000 11000 0 100 ""]
(
Pin[0 0 20000 2000 20600 9500 "1" "1" "edge2"]
ElementArc [0 0 11000 11000 270 90 1000]
ElementArc [0 0 11000 11000 0 90 1000]
ElementArc [0 0 11000 11000 90 90 1000]
ElementArc [11000 -0 0 0 0 90 1000]
ElementArc [0 0 11000 11000 180 90 1000]
)
Any help will be appreciated.
TIA.

I am a newbie using pcb 20110918 under KDE 4.8, Xorg 1.12 and

networked printer with Postscript, HP-PCL and 104MB of ram.
<br>
<br>
When I used File -> Print Layout when doing the tutorial
(Getting Started with pcb), it worked fine for both LED and
fb-blinker layouts. Now that I have completed my small (2 x 3")
thru-hole board and try to print it out, I get the first 6 pages,
but the remaining 5 pages are not printed and lpr (Cups) hangs
"processing" forever. I have several "logical" printers on this
physical printer. One uses the Foomatic PS to PCL converter,
another uses Gutenprint, and one uses the native Postscript (Cups
PS driver). All three exhibit the same symptoms. I have tried
using different options in the print layout window, but nothing I
have done changes the result. The Gerber files look fine with
gerbv. Sounds like a pcb Postscript generation problem.
<br>
<br>
Is this a known problem with this pcb version or is it something
new?
<br>
Any suggestions or work-arounds to fix it?

<br>
Thanks.
