Is this problem still exhibited by ghostscript-6.51-16? There are '1b40 1b40' bits there now. Yes, this problem is still in ghostscript-6.51-16. I mistyped my arrow above. Non-working files start with '1b40 1b40'. It needs the two lines before it to work with USB printers. At some point though RedHat appears to have started including the "stp" driver in ghostscript and available via the printconf-gui program (I noticed it first in 7.2). Since "stp" is based off of gimp-print it already contains the needed fixes and doesn't require modifying *.upp files. I'd probably suggest closing this bug report now and tell all future Epson USB Printer people to use "stp". It requires less of your quality-control work anyways and offers much better output to the users. Hopefully, the ghostscript team themselves will fix the bug in the older postscript drivers or remove them from their version. I have submitted a bug report to their sourceforge page on this topic as well (still hasn't been answered in close to a years times either :-). Could you give me a link to the sf bug report please? Thanks. The SF Ghostscript bug # is 448199. The following link is what I used to view it just now: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=448199&group_id=1897&atid=101897 Thanks. Okay, closing. The gimp-print driver is the one to use anyway, as you say. |
