First of all:
Many thanks for your feedback in comment #23.
The information that sometimes even up to 1GB RIPCache
is actually needed was new to me and helped us a lot!


Regarding your attachment #396070:

On my openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 system with Ghostscript 8.70
I can anticipate what causes your attachment #396070
(only "rpm -e --test" shows all requirements and their actual reason):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# rpm -e --test ghostscript-library-8.70
..
libgs.so.8()(64bit) is needed by ... libspectre1-0.2.4-3.1.x86_64
libgs.so.8()(64bit) is needed by ... foomatic-filters-4.0.1-6.1.x86_64
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This means that libspectre1 (i.e. /usr/lib64/libspectre.so.1.1.4)
and foomatic-filters (i.e. /usr/bin/foomatic-rip) are linked
with libgs.so.8 but libgs.so.8 is not provided
by Ghostscript 9.00 so that neither /usr/bin/foomatic-rip
nor /usr/lib64/libspectre.so.1.1.4 would still work if
ghostscript-library-8.70 was replaced by ghostscript-library-9.00

As a consequence the installer would suggest
to remove libspectre1 and foomatic-filters.

But then the subsequent consequences would be:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# rpm -e --test libspectre1-0.2.4
..
libspectre.so.1()(64bit) is needed by ... okular-4.4.4-1.4.x86_64
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
and
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# rpm -e --test foomatic-filters-4.0.1
..
foomatic-filters is needed by ... cups-drivers-1.3.9-35.1.x86_64
foomatic-filters is needed by ... cups-1.4.4-4.1.x86_64
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a final result the installer would suggest to remove
libspectre1, foomatic-filters, okular, cups-drivers, and cups.

This means that at least currently you cannot simply install
ghostscript-library-9.00 from its openSUSE development project
"Printing:ghostscript" into your usual openSUSE 11.3 system
and still have a normal usable openSUSE 11.3 system - except
you actually want to do development and you know what you do.

It is no bug when there are issues with packages from
openSUSE development projects, in particular have a look at
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Printing
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
..
The packages in the "Printing" project are
only for testing, without any guarantee or warranty,
and without any support.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In the end:
Normal openSUSE 11.3 users should do what is described on
http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Printing
how to work around "Current Issues".


By the way:
This bug is about the "CUPS default RIPCache".
If there are issues with Ghostscript, I suggest to file
a new separated bug report so that we could better keep
separated issues actually separated.
