The newest packages for the base printing system are available for various openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise versions in the "Printing" development project in the openSUSE build service for 32-bit i586 and 64-bit x86_64 architecture. For example for openSUSE 13.1 from this direct URL http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.1/ (some packages like OpenPrintingPPDs are in the "noarch" subdirectory). Please read https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Printing in particular note therein: ========================================================= The "Printing" project may contain new, upcoming software. Therefore the packages in the "Printing" project might neither be in a stable state nor fit well into currently installed systems. Have this in mind if you think about to install packages from the "Printing" project into your currently running system. Do not use "Factory" if your system is not "Factory". Use the matching packages for your particular system. The packages in the "Printing" project are only for testing, without any guarantee or warranty, and without any support. As an extreme example, this means if your complete computer center crashes because of those packages, it is only your problem. On the other hand this does not mean that those packages are known to be terrible broken but they are not thoroughly tested so that any unexpected issue can happen. ========================================================= I assume you are a venturous openSUSE user who likes to try out if new packages from the "Printing" project work for you. In this case please report whether or not it works for you. Many thanks in advance for testing it and for your feedback! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have basically no knowledge at all about fonts. Note that ghostscript-fonts-std and ghostscript-fonts-other are no Ghostscript sub-packages but separated packages (they are sub-packages of the ghostscript-fonts package). If I remember correctly there have been some changes/updates regarding Ghostscript's free fonts but I did not have the time to work on it and investigate what the current actual state is. E.g. /usr/share/doc/packages/ghostscript/Fonts.htm still shows the no longer working URL ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/fonts/ but it seems meanwhile Ghostscript's free fonts are under http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/fonts/ Ulrich Deiters, when the root cause is in Ghostscript's fonts, you may try out if it works with Ghostscript's free fonts from http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/fonts/ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
