The practical upshot is that users with non-Postscript printers will not be able to print on FreeBSD CUPS servers until the issue is somehow resolved. >How-To-Repeat: Upgrade to cups-* version 1.1.15. >Fix: Port "ESP Postscript" to FreeBSD, although I don't know how that's going to effect programs that rely on GNU Ghostscript, or what the differences are between the two. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
