Description Steve Flack 2002-03-07 13:18:28 UTC
The new app-text/ghostscript ebuild breaks (omits) the hpijs support present in the 
6.50-r4 ebuild. The new build is based on the older r3 ebuild. At the moment there isn't 
an ebuild for hpijs (I've submitted a second revision of it but it's been sat there in bugzilla 
ignored for weeks). Without the support being compiled into ghostscript it's useless 
anyway.  It also means Gentoo users with Hewlett Packard printers are condemned to 
using the gimp-print driver the output quality of which is far lower than that provided by 
HPs own driver

Sorry My misunderstanding...ijs is in by default in gs. It doesn't need to be compiled in.
