This is more a ghostscript than cups problem actually. I have this problem with all the ghostscript-7.05.5 ebuilds. When GS is emerged, the paths hard coded into the gs binary are the virtual portage paths and not the absolute root paths. Due to this wrong coding, the gs binary won't work as it can't find its lib/ files until you set the GS_LIB path correctly. However, when called from within cups during a printing session, GS_LIB seems to be ignored and gs falls back to the hard coded paths which of course are the wrong ones. Result: all printing attempts fail. You can find output of gs --help and emerge info below.

Created attachment 9561 [details] ghostscript-7.0.5.6-r1.ebuild
I guess you realised that the attached ghostscript-7.0.5.6-r1.ebuild doesn't fix anything... I wonder, does anyone have the slightest clue on how we could fix this?
will have a look .. sorry for the delay there was a problem with the mail alias so i didn't get the Bugzilla mails
is this bug still valid?
*** Bug 18084 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
a complete emerge log may be usefull ;)
Looks like it's working fine with ghostscript-7.05.6-r2 now...
-> close ;)
