i'm 99% sure the cups flavor isn't really necessary. pstoraster is used by some of the PPD files shipped with cups, but the printers they support are better supported by foomatic. IMO, the PPD files shipped with cups that use pstoraster or pstopxl should not be included in the cups package, and the cups flavor of gs should be dropped. unless pstoraster really does provide a unique capability ... > Anyway, please test and comment. looks ok otherwise. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
