When i switch to colour printing within CUPS (using the CUPS web-frontend or YaST doesn't matter) the printer stops to work and simply does nothing. I found a few reports about this problem with Google and it seems that Ghostscript 8.64 has a bug which causes this behaviour. Alas openSUSE does not provide a newer version of Ghostscript without this bug. Even the latest version in the Factory repository doesn't work. More info about this bug can be found at http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/forum/read.php?26,1810 Reproducible: Always According to bugs.ghostscript.com the bug was fixed with rev 9452 of Ghostscript (which is not part of the 8.64 release).

Currently an update to a newer ghostscript would break a lot of packages out there (like TeX Live) as ghostscript 8.70 is under GPL3.

An update to Ghostscript 8.70 would be nice but is not the only solution for this problem. A patched 8.64 version (with the bitcmyk-blank-output.patch from http://bugs.ghostscript.com/attachment.cgi?id=4801&action=view ) would also do the trick. Could an updated 8.64 version be provided in the 11.2 repositories? I think we cannot tell openSUSE 11.2 users that they have to patch the Ghostscript source and recompile manually when they want colour printing... :) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
