Happy new year...
I have this problem again and I realize that when generating a .ps file and trying to open it in Peview.app it shows
- a message that the ps document could not pe opened because it had nothing in it...
- cgpdftops hangs in Activity monitor.app (I have to force quit it again)
The ps document is as follows (seems to me empty of whatever) :
