Ghostscript problem report form
Before using this form, please read the instructions for reporting
problems. If you are running a developer or beta version of Ghostscript,
and you are an experienced tester (for example, if you have been testing
Ghostscript for more than a year, or you have already submitted at least
two problem reports that we accepted for investigation), you can send an
informal report to the place indicated below. Otherwise, please fill out
this form completely. Fill out all applicable items in this form.
Most importantly, you must include all data (PostScript files, PDF files,
batch/script files, and/or fonts) required to reproduce the problem,
either by giving a URL from which we can download the data, or by
including the data with the report itself. If you don't include this
information, we can't investigate the problem. Please note that the bug
reports are publicly archived, so the information you provide will be
generally available. If the test data absolutely must remain confidential,
please so indicate on the form below and provide an address we may contact
privately for the file.
Once you have prepared the report, go to http://bugs.ghostscript.com. and
follow the instructions there. Data files can be attached to the bug
report after the bug is submitted. Use the completed problem reporting
form as the body of the Bugzilla submission. If by some reason the
Bugzilla doesn't work for you, bugs can be submitted as follows:
* If you are running MS-DOS, MS Windows, or OS/2, and you are
reasonably sure that the problem is specific to your platform, mail to
bug-gswin at ghostscript.com.
* If you are running MacOS, and you are reasonably sure that the
problem is specific to the Mac, mail to mac-gs at ghostscript.com.
* Otherwise, mail to bug-gs at ghostscript.com.
Fully completed problem reports help us improve Ghostscript. Thanks in
advance.

Symptoms:
Emacs has always made postscript files for me y the ps-print facility.
I use Linux and my previous distribution was Fedora Core 4, with emacs
21.4 and ghostscript 7.07
I upgraded to Fedora Core 5 this past week and it came with emacs 21.4
(unchanged) but ghostscript was changed to 8.15.1-7.2
The files produced are no longer readable by ghostscript. I get the
message:
# Error: configurationerror
# OFFENDING COMMAND: setpagedevice
# STACK:
-dictionary-
# ERRORINFO:
false
/ManualFeed
I take the same text buffer and make .ps file on my home machine (FC5) and
my work machine (RHEL3)
Both files are accepted by ghostscript at work and are rejected by my home
machine.
Other people have reported the same error. See:
http://www.linuxpackages.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14089&highlight=&sid=fb69365fc6e3c9fc9181250a0f2ef564
