I repost this, because unfortunately the upgrade to kde 3.2.2 (SuSE 9.0) did not solve the problem, and I really miss this feature.
Any ideas out there how to fix this:

If I select print preview while trying to print within KDE the print preview window opens with a print and cancel button but no preview of the page to be printed. Pressing the print button prints the page though.
I'm using CUPS as the printer interface.
Anybody any idea whats wrong?
Sorry, no solution, but the same problem. preview shown just a thin garbage line, and the buttons as you describe.
Try reinstalling ghostscript and related packages.

Yes, that looks like a good start. I think I did that several times already, when the problem appeared first, which was after the upgrade of kde 3.1.4 to kde 3.2.x (not sure if 3.1.4 -> 3.2.0 or 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1).
Yes but did you reinstall ghostview (gv)?
Thanks for your advice, Brad! Yes, i did, and encouraged by your explanation about your experience I did do it again now. I did completely de-install all ghostscript packages and ghostview (but not cups and no kde package). Then I rebootet, and reinstalled all of them. But unfortunately the problem is still there: - Printing works fine. - kghostview works fine. - print preview of kde apps (koffice, kwrite etc. ) does not work, it shows an empty page :-( So I assume I need to completely de-install also cups and maybe even kde? Or I should have checked if after de-installation the directories used by ghostscript are indeed empty, and not some garbage files left there, which then after re-installing still cause the same error? May be I wait for SuSE 9.1, wipe my hdd and make a fresh install ... ...or look at the source code of the kde print preview, to see what is happening there, but I doubt I find the time for that. Thanks, Matt
