Hi,

First check that the $(THOTDIR)/LINUX-ELF/bin/print application have been
recompiled by make thot, if it is not the case, try making it by typing "make
all" or "make print".

If it doesn't work well, you may call the print process directly from the
shell, giving it a thot document and print parameters as arguments (type print
witout args to see the arguments). If it works well, the problem tou had was
certainely a memory problem.

We do work on linux PCs and there is no special feature for printing with
this plateform.
