Error 1007: An error occured while running Ghostscript

[paegus]

Whenever I try to print to PDF I get the following error:
-----------------
Error 1007: An error occurred while running Ghostscript

**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.

Run Ghost to create PDF file.
-----------------

I'm not sure how to run Ghost by itself exactly though.

Also during the installation it kept asking for the files PSCRIPT.HLP & APLWCSB1.PPD which are supposed to be on my XP's install disc in the i386 folder... but aren't? I found them (or something called the same) online which the install didn't object to but i somehow doubt that was supposed to happen either.

I am running Windows XP Professional (x86) Version 2008 Service Pack 3 on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core.

Please make sure that you have enough free space on the disk where you TEMP files are located.

Hmm there should be plenty of space as it's a fresh OS install on a 60GB partition. 52GB free so far according to the almighty property box. I haven't touched any of the system locations so the temp folders will be in their default locations, on that main partition.

cheers,

I also got this error, and after seeing the mention of the TEMP folder, I did the following:

Deleted everything I could in the TEMP folder
Deleted the TEMP\BullZip folder // No improvement - Same problem

The version of the " gslite.exe " installed on my pc was 8.61.0.2
(The version in Control Panel / Add Remove programs only shows 8.61 but by right mouse clicking on gslite.exe / Properties / Version tab / it showed 8.61.0.2 )

I downloaded the current version from the website ( 8.63.0.3 ) and installed it.

Problem resolved for me.
