Hmm...I have:
ESP Ghostscript 8.15.04 (2007-03-14)
pdftops version 3.01 (coming from libpoppler1 version 0.5.4-0ubuntu8)
pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (tetex-3.0.dfsg.3-4)
The CUPS page (http://www.cups.org/espgs/index.php) indicates that ESP
8.15.04 and GPL 8.57 have merged into 8.60. This is probably the
solution. So I will give that a try as a first fix and report back to
the list.
However, it will be a little while before I can provide a status
update----I have a presentation very soon and do not have the time to
regenerate all my images so that the background matches my
presentation background. Since my setup had been creating
'transparent' facecolors, I did not bother setting facecolor at all
and kept the default. :(
Thanks!
