[STR Closed w/Resolution]
I've now installed cups-1.4.4. But I see the same as before. Sending this
file to a non-ps printer (HP1020) results in no output. The job dies and
is left in the queue until removed manually.
Doing the following:
cat gnuplottest.ps |/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstops 1 1 1 1 'PageSize=A4'
> test-pstops.ps
gives a postscript file that renders 0 pages. For example then doing:
cat test-pstops.ps | gs -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH
-dNOMEDIAATTRS -sDEVICE=png16m -sstdout=%stderr -sOUTPUTFILE=%stdout -c -f
-_ >out.png
(command line based on Till's at the above referenced bug) produces a file
of zero length. But processing the original ps file with the same gs
command gives a png file with an image in it.
I'm using ghostscript-8.71.
