Description Tanktalus 2009-02-21 00:40:00 UTC
GS 8.64 broke something that causes the foo2zjs driver to stop working in colour.  Going back to 8.63 fixes it.  So does the patch at the bottom of the linked page.  I've created a test ebuild (8.64-r1) which applies the patch from that page and then reinstalled, and now my printing works again.  I'd really like to see that patch in the official ebuilds since the next ghostscript with the fix won't be out until August or so, according to the ghostscript bug report.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to print in colour
Actual Results:  
nada

Expected Results:  
beautiful prose.  Or at least the PDF I'm printing.

Thanks, fixed in >=ghostscript-gpl-8.64-r1.
Comment 2 Tanktalus 2009-05-09 23:42:25 UTC
This worked in -r1, and -r2.  But -r3 has broken it again.  This time, however, I'm not sure why... it looks like the patch is in there, but maybe one of the new patches broke it elsewhere?  I'm going to have to back out to -r2 for today's print jobs...
Comment 3 Tanktalus 2009-05-10 00:13:27 UTC
Ugh - even backing out to -r2 doesn't fix my problem with printing now.  *sigh*  Now to figure out what really is preventing foo2hp2600-wrapper from working.
Comment 4 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2011-06-03 21:12:31 UTC
Do you still have this problem with current versions?
Comment 5 Tanktalus 2011-06-04 01:21:43 UTC
No, I must have eventually figured something out.  And I recently upgraded my printer to something with a much saner language, and now use the hplip driver instead.

Thanks, I think this can be closed.
