Hi Helge,

815.04 ships with Sol10 and I picked up 9.00 from SunFreeware....pre-compiled. I wil lget hold of the source and build it from there.

Thanks for the info.

Cheers

Sean

How did you install the newer Ghostscript?
If you compile from the sources, make sure the configure script recognizes
the CUPS installation, as the cups device needs libcupsimage and libcups.
