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.
Girvin Herr
