I am trying to print to a windows printer using apsfilter, but I also can get this error message just trying to run the ghostscript command that apsfilter tries to use to print a test page, so I think it is a gs problem, not an apsfilter one: Printing Test page using: gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER -dSAFER -r300x300 -sDEVICE=ijs -sPAPERSIZE=letter -sIjsParams='Quality=0,ColorMode=2,MediaType=0,PenSet=2' -sDeviceManufacturer=HEWLETT-PACKARD -sDeviceModel='DESKJET 810' -sIjsServer=hpijs -sOutputFile='/tmp/apsfilter6810/test_page.aps' setup/test.ps Ok to print testpage?

Googling around about the problem suggests that there may be something wrong with my kernel configuration, but after seven or eight kernels I have no idea if that is it or not.
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?
I originally submitted this bug. I never was able to get it working. I tried on a few gentoo lists and ghostscript and apsfilter lists. I tried to fix it by upgrading the whole system from 1.4_rc2 to 1.4_rc4 or so... and ended up completely hosing the system. I ended up installing FreeBSD. So, wish I could help, but I never got it working, and never found out what the problem was.
as we can't reproduce it anymore ... close.
