FYI, I went out and bought a $40 HP 3050 AIO to scan with, though I haven't used it in some time, I figured I might possibly need printing sometime too. Scanning worked perfectly, but I was having difficulties printing via HPLIP, every page was stretched and spanning four pages. I re-installed GS with the option above and all is well. > > Perhaps this is worth mentioning on the BLFS Ghostscript page? > Being that it causes no ill effects for users of PS printers, it should probably be default (circular dependency for CUPS?). -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
