well, i gave up on trying to build the pips stuff, that just isn't going to happen.  using linux emulation, i've managed to get the ppd file extracted from the rpm file, and i've built and installed cups, esp-gs, and gimp-print out of the packages collection on netbsd, but i am getting this error here:

E [08/Nov/2004:12:24:40 -0500] Unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job 6!
I [08/Nov/2004:12:24:40 -0500] Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript installed?

and the answer is yes, yes it is:

$ /usr/local/bin/gs --version
7.07.1

so now what do i do?  i'm tempted to pull all my hair out and install windows or linux on this computer.  bah.
