[cups.general] RE: CUPS & Ghostscript

oh !! Yes ofcourse ESP Ghostscript works perfectly well. (atleast I did not
have any problems). But it is extremely large. Inspite of all the obvious
minimisations that could be done, I could bring it down to only
approximately 11MB. I need the whole thing to be less than 3MB. That is the
reason for my needing to go for GNU Ghostscript. 

If there is some way that I could make ESP Ghostscript down to 3MB, I would
settle for ESP. 

PS: I am trying to bring up the print system for an Embedded System.

Unless you jump from the frying pan to the fire, all you get is a raw deal.
