Hi Erik,
Thank you for these instructions. I have succeeded in loading the
templates en masse using the setup.pl method.
I have found that the templates need some reworking in order to be
processed in the new LSMB. Having done that and the TT part of the
process now running to completion
That's good progress! Nice!
the remaining problem is that the document presented
to us is not the
postscript output but is simply the raw latex source.
Ok. Can you share the first line(s) of your template? I think I know what's
missing, but would like to confirm it.

LedgerSMB installs a plugin into Template Toolkit which enhances TT to
generate the required postscript output -- given the right instructions.
This instruction is what I'm looking for in the first few lines of your
template.
Regards,
Erik.
