Have you tried it by starting Emacs with "-q" argument?
Aren't you using X-symbol package?

The attached is a mail relevant to this problem.

I'm thinking to change ps-postscript-code-directory definition to:


(defcustom ps-postscript-code-directory
  (cond
   ((eq ps-print-emacs-type 'emacs)     ; emacs
    data-directory)
   ((fboundp 'locate-data-directory)    ; emacsens (xemacs, etc.)
    (locate-data-directory "ps-print"))
   (t                                   ; don't know what to do
    nil))                               ; I THINK IT SHOULD GIVE AN ERROR!!
  "*Directory where it's located the PostScript prologue file used by ps-print.
By default, this directory is the same as in the variable `data-directory'."
  :type 'directory
  :group 'ps-print-miscellany)


Does this fix the loading order problem with X-Symbol?
