Description Harm Geerts 2004-04-04 13:36:01 UTC
The HP deskjet 710C driver depends on ghostscript and pnm2ppa.

This is part of my cups error.log

possible fixes:
1. add a dependancy
2. add a econf message for HP deskjet users to emerge both ghostscript and pnm2ppa
3. ban all HP deskjets from the face of this planet

If it were up to me I'd settle for option 3 ;)
