Re: Cannot print plots that have ylabel in Linux Mint - UPDATE

[Gsparky]

I'm making a guess that the problem resides with Ghostscript. I ran the "print" 
command again, opened a terminal, and ran "top". It showed "gs" as using 100% 
(or very close to 100%) of CPU, but only 1.3% of memory. Here are the top few 
lines from "top":

I'm running a quad-core computer, if that makes any difference.

Thanks again!
