Hi Folks,

I am having a problem with a non-postcript printer.  Whenever I print
anything the jobs get cancelled straight away.  After turning debugging on I
found that its because CUPS can't call gs:

E [07/Dec/2004:10:48:00 +0000] Unable to convert file 0 to printable format
for job 38!
I [07/Dec/2004:10:48:00 +0000] Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript installed?

I am running on Solaris 9, and espgs is installed top /opt/sfw/espgs/bin/gs,
but CUPS doesn't seem to see this.  I have tried creating a symbolic link
from /opt/sfw/espgs/bin/gs to /usr/bin/gs and /usr/bin/local/gs, but CUPS
still comes back with the above error.

Where does CUPS expect gs to be?  How can I tell CUPS that gs is actually in
/opt/sfw/espgs/bin/gs?

Thanks in advance!
