When I try to print under winuae 1.1.1 (my printer

rinting to file under win xp; in winuae: postscript detection/emulation; ghostscript/ghostview) a small win xp window appears and wants me to enter the name of the file I want to print to. When I start to enter the name of the file, winuae freezes and I have to end it by pressing ctrl+alt+del.

Can anybody help me?

Does it work if you print directly to printer? Try also using windowed mode because Windows popups appearing in fullscreen mode usually cause all kinds of wierd problems..

If I try printing to RPT1: the problem changes. Redrun is starting, gsview opens, and then ... cannot open the file. ghostscript complains that there is no "dsc" or whatever. Seems ghostscript cannot handle the file. What is this?

RPT1? Redrun? Does it work if you use ghostscript without any extra software? You should not see any windows opening when printing with ghostscript.
