ghostscript trouble...
 

hi all,

i would like to have some help on this strange or maybe stupid trouble i'm getting printing from KDE, using CUPS server:


When i print a test page i get nothing out of the printer. The cups error_log show:

Ghostscript: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps

I've checked with gs -h, the path with the gs_init.ps is included in the search path of Ghostscript... I've also copied gs_init.ps in the same gs directory where gs run... but nothnig change ..

The ghostscript version is ESPGhostscript 7.05.6

Any help, suggestion or idea will be very appreciated.

Thx, B7

Bon giorno ragazzo! :)

I'd recommend you go to Linuxprinting, the maker of,
the ESP Ghostscript hangs out there ...

I never could be bothered trying to overcome that
trouble (one of my workmates wanted to run a 1.16)
of cups, and with the two packets we never got it
to work...

We overcame the problem by first installing the old
cups 1.14 (with built-in GS) and then just throw the
newer version on top of that ;)

Cheers,
Tink

Ciao e grazie ragazzo :),

i've finally solved the trouble, after a week of attempts...

Solution:

recompiled cups 1.1.18
recompiled ESP Ghostscript with --cups-enabled, Omni, jpeg etc etc

now it works great :)

thanks again
B7

Va bene! :)

Thanks for sheding some light onto that thing.
I really hated the approach of double-efforts
to get it working ;)


Cheers,
Tink
