Description:   Opened: 2003-11-10 04:59 0000 
The current ghostscript release (7.05.6-r3) has an issue with dashed lines in
the
PCL-XL driver.  This is preventing my HP LaserJet 1200 fromp rinting any
documents
that use this feature. (ex. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-fill/f1040esn.pdf)

There is a fix in the AFPL 8.0 ghostscript release, but I would like to aply 
this fix to the current gentoo release.  I have attached 2 files that fix this 
issue.

There is a new ghostscript version 7.06 available, not yet in portage. Do
you know if this is fixed in this version?

------- Comment #4 From Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2003-11-10 11:49:24 0000 ------- 
The new version is not 7.06 but 7.07.1

------- Comment #5 From Larry Sanderson 2003-11-10 11:59:41 0000 ------- 
This is not fixed until Development release 7.20, and production release
8.0.  The web cvs tree is here: 

http://cvs.ghostscript.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gs/src/gdevpx.c

Version 1.9 is the one where this patch is applied.  Unfortunately, this
has not made it into the version 7.0 branch.

ok, added the patch to -r4 :D
