[solved] Re: [cups.general] ESP Ghostscript error

[Markus Heller]

Dear community,

since nobody helped me, I had to help myself. Though, I would like to share my 
findings:

The error
>>>>>
D [20/Sep/2005:00:37:30 +0200] [Job 456] Error: /undefinedfilename in 
(/dev/fd/0)
<<<<<
respectively 
>>>>>
D [20/Sep/2005:00:37:30 +0200] [Job 456] ESP Ghostscript 815.00: **** Could
not open the file /dev/fd/3 .
<<<<<

led me to the idea that there must be something about these strange files. And 
indeed, I found, that actually, the directory 
/dev/fd
must be a symbolic link to 
/proc/self/fd/

And this was all. Now my baby will print again :-)

Cheers,
Markus
