I tried to setup my EPSON Stylus C84 with gimp-print/foomatic/cups (recommended driver for this printer!). The PPD is available and installed by gimp-print. But I can't print. Then I found out, that the 'stp' driver ist not included in my 'gs' installation. hmpf. Ok, I checked the ebuild of ghostscript-7.07.1-r2 then and found that: myconf="--with-ijs --with-omni --without-gimp-print" hmpf!!!! ;-) I edited the ebuild and fixed it to "--with-gimp-print" for a first test. Ok, it builds w/o problems. Now we have a 'stp' enabled and working ghostscript. Next check: printing ;-) Result: IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!! So please tell me, why gimp-print is disabled?!?! Please enable it ASAP! Thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
every stp driver is also available as ijs driver,stp is obsolete and thus not included.
hmmm. if this is true, why is the stp-driver "recommended" and not the ijs-driver? gimp-print installs both PPDs. One for the ijs-driver and one for the stp-driver. ok, if the ijs-driver works, and you disable the stp-drivers, then also remove the PPDs for stp! That is confusing and gives you such BugZillas! ;-) I reopen this bug, because this ebuild needs either an "einfo"-message about the not working PPDs oder a remove-function for the obsolete PPDs (preferred solution).
i thought i removed all PPD's for stp, but it didn't. that's fixed now .
great, I'll check it.
