The issue is fixed in the current ghostscript version 9.10 that is available from the OBS "Printing" project for various openSUSE and SLE versions. Note that the current ghostscript version 9.10 has in particular those backward incompatible change: * The CUPS filters gstoraster and gstopxl have been removed from Ghostscript. Those filters are now provided by cups-filters (a free software package hosted by OpenPrinting) that contains all CUPS filters needed by CUPS under Linux (see also the openSUSE issue bnc#735404 comment#44 at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404#c44). For printing to non-PostScript printers one needs usually gstoraster which means since ghostscript version 9.10 one needs usually cups-filters. But cups-filters as a whole is incompatible with CUPS < 1.6 (in particular incompatible with CUPS 1.5.4 in openSUSE because cups-filters provides duplicate files of CUPS 1.5.4) which means for using ghostscript version 9.10 one needs only the sub-package cups-filters-ghostscript which is available from the OBS "Printing" project only for openSUSE >= 12.2. Christian Boltz, I assume you are a venturous openSUSE user who likes to try out if ghostscript version 9.10 plus cups-filters-ghostscript from the OBS "Printing" project work for your openSUSE 13.1 system. If yes, please report whether or not ghostscript version 9.10 fixes this issue here and whether or not printing on your printer (which printer model do you use?) still works after upgrading to ghostscript version 9.10 plus cups-filters-ghostscript.

I installed the following packages from the Printing repo: ghostscript-9.10-45.4.x86_64 ghostscript-x11-9.10-45.4.x86_64 cups-filters-ghostscript-1.0.40-5.1.x86_64 Now Okular displays ps files and the Print Preview works again. Printing to my non-Postscript printer (Brother HL-2030) still works as well, with the standard cups included in 13.1. -- 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.

FYI:

After installing the binary RPMs ghostscript, ghostscript-x11, and cups-filters-ghostscript from the OBS "Printing" project, it may be required to restart the cupsd (e.g. "systemctl restart cups.service" or whatever you use on your particular system - cf. cups.socket/cups.path).

I rebooted my system after installing the packages to be sure. But I used the "Brother HL-2030 Foomatic/hl1250" driver. According to the cups log this uses foomatic-rip. Sorry about that. I tried again with the gutenprint driver ("Brother HL-2030 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9"), and printing DOES NOT work (the log confirms that gstoraster is run now). It finishes and I don't see any errors in the log, but the printer just does not print anything. But it's the same with ghostscript 9.0.7 from openSUSE 13.1 (and cups-filters-ghostscript uninstalled). So I cannot really say anything about cups-filters-ghostscript, sorry. -- 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.
