hello to all,

i have got the following problem, when i try to print out of kword or konqueror:

The MIME type application/postscript is not supported as input of the filter chain (this may happen with non-CUPS spoolers when performing page selection on a non-PostScript file). Do you want KDE to convert the file to a supported format?

when i click on convert then i get the following error-message:

No appropriate filter found. Select another target format.

does anybody know what i can do know?

Thanks!

Do you have postscript installed?

no i don't have it!
maybe that this is the problem!

do you know where i can get postscript from?

i downloaded it now from tuxfinder.com and untared it, but the package contains just a python-folder with some files. do i have to copy them somewhere?? what shall i do?

or is there another package??
