[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#447954: cupsys: fails to print after last ghostscript update (foomatic-gswrapper: gs-esp: command not found)

Wed Oct 24 22:54:56 UTC 2007

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.3.2-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

Since last week's update of gs/ghostscript, something goes terribly wrong and cupsys refuses to print. Upon further inspection, it seems some backend programs or scripts are unable to find the gs-esp binary. I'm not sure under which package to file this bug report, as the architecture of the printing system eludes me somewhat.
