Thanks a lot for the workaround. This bug just bit me when I needed the printing to work "right now." Needless to say, it was very upsetting. Apparently ghostscript-gpl was updated to stable 9.04-r3 just a few days ago. was bitten by the same problem. creating a symlink solved it. Greetings Jan I can also confirm this issue. It affects stable systems. Is there any ebuild update in the queue? Quick fix: ~ # cd /usr/libexec/cups/filter/ filter # ln -s gstoraster pstoraster filter # (In reply to comment #3) > Is there any ebuild update in the queue? I'll add a new ghostscript revision installing the mentioned symlink. But please also report a new bug for every affected printer driver in the tree still requiring the pstoraster filter so they can be fixed like splix (bug #367071) if possible. In the long run (CUPS >=1.6) we probably need a separate filter package for some printer drivers to depend on since additional filters are removed by then, see CUPS bug STR #3930 (http://cups.org/str.php?L3930).
