[cups.general] [SOLVED] Should the CUPS Raster output deviceofGhostscript output compressed or uncompressed Raster data?

[Till Kamppeter]

I have solved the problem now. I have added optional compression to the 
CUPS Raster output device of Ghostscript now (in the SVN repository of 
Ghostscript, rev 11508, will get into GS 9.00 to be released end of 
August). If the line

*cupsRasterVersion: 2

is added to the PPD file, the CUPS Raster output will be compressed 
(version 2). Default is uncompressed (version 3) for backward 
compatibility. CUPS Raster version 1 is not supported.

The change is implemented completely inside the CUPS Raster output 
device code of Ghostscript, so it works both with pstoraster and 
PostScript input and with pdftoraster and PDF input.
