Large cups systems?

[Seth Galitzer]

I stand corrected.  I got a tarball (binary) direct from Adobe to
install it.  Get this:
Linux installed version: 8.1.1
Windows installed version: 8.1.0

I can print my test file from Linux (PS v2/3) and get no errors.  When I
print the same test file from Windows (PS v2/3), KID3 dies with status 3
and the job gets stopped.

This is with both copies freshly installed and fully updated.  Seems the
Linux version has a minor revision bump over the Windows version, and is
using a slightly newer(?) version of PS.  Coincidence?  How ya like them
apples?  Speaking of apples, I have yet to test from a Mac, but the
download version on the Adobe website appears to be 8.1.0, like the
Windows version.  Of course that may or may not mean anything.

Note, 7.x versions of Acrobat (both Linux and Windows) don't seem to
cause errors, though they still report %!PS-Adobe-3.0 in their spool
file headers.  So there must be something else wonky in the body of the
file that is throwing off the renderer.  Of course, that's just a WAG.

Time to start a new thread here, maybe in bugs or development?  Should I
start a bug report?

Thanks one more time for your help and persistence on this thread.  I've
managed to stretch it out quite a bit this week.
