You could make a tarball with all sources/patches EXCEPT the gs6.0 source and with a the spec file and a README with instructions where to put the gs6.0 source and which command to enter to build the RPM. The README should also contain for which every extra source/patch is and how to add it into the gs6.0 source manually. This tarball we and you can publish because there is no gs6.0 in it. And this would make it easy for gs6.0 users to get all drivers. When you have done this, can you tell me where to download it? We could publish this under Contribs and announce it on forum.mandrakesoft.com. Thank you in advance, Till Reinhard Katzmann wrote: Hi Till!

As I know you can redistribute your modified GhostScript 6.0 if you do not do it commercially. You can place it for download on your home page. The only thing is, that Mandrake (and other distributors) cannot redistribute it, because they do commercial redistribution. If you put your files on to your home page, I would put a link on my XPP page: http://www.phy.uni-bayreuth.de/till/xpp/ Till Reinhard Katzmann wrote: Hi Till!

Try the other driver as I have told to you and/or try again tomorrow
with the new 13mdk of cups-drivers. It is based on GIMP-Print 4.0beta1
and not any more on a patched 4.0alpha3.

Hi Till!
I think I found the bug why the gimp-print driver does not work.
I executed the program /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoprinter by
hand which is normally automatically called with PPD variable
set to "/etc/cups/ppd/lp.ppd" with the following parameters:
rastertoprinter 10 katzmann test 1 0 raster
(the "raster" file was created with pstoraster ps-file raster).
As I created a new cups printer.conf I inluded that one as well:
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.3

By comparison you see that either the following line in the ppd is wrong:
*ModelName: "bjc-6000 (GIMP-Print)"
or that the comparison is based on another entry (Though I found only
PCFileName being close to it:
*PCFileName:"bjc-6000.ppd")
To test my theory, I changed the ModelName entry and voila the error was
gone. Now I was at the stage I had been already before: Only a blank page
was printed and nothing else.
The log now contains the lines (this does not appear in the webinterface
as error message):
D [20/Sep/2000:18:02:14 +0100] PageSize = 0x0
E [20/Sep/2000:18:02:14 +0100] Unable to get media size!

D [20/Sep/2000:18:02:16 +0100] ReadClient() 8 GET /printers/lp HTTP/1.0
From the setting you can't know that I have to set my page size to A4
(default Letter it too large for my paper and printer settings here
in germany). There seems to be a problem with that :-(( In the PPD:
*DefaultPageSize: A4
*DefaultResolution: 360dpi
*DefaultDither: AdaptHybrid
As a test I set it back to letter and now I got a result:
A complete black page instead of the wished test page. Also
it did not stop there but suddenly consumed a whole lot of
CPU and after 5 minutes waiting for continued printing I aborted.
No crash any longer as before but nothing was added into the log
anymore after the usual printout messages and a final CloseClient
message. The processes consuming cpu times were "lp" and "parallel".
Anyone out there who has made similar experiences ?
