Hi; As many of you know ghostscript-gpl 8.50 has been released so the time to open that can of worms that is our ghostscript-gpl port has come. I started checking out what drivers don't build easily with the new ghostscript and these are in inminent danger unless someone updates/cleans them: MD2K - additional driver for Alps MD-2000/2010/4000/1300/1500/5000 (last updated in 2002) ALPS - additional driver for Alps MD-5000 BJ10V - additional driver for Canon BJ-10V DMPRT - additional driver for generic dot matrix printers EPAG - additional driver for Epson ESC/Page printers LX5000 - additional driver for Lexmark 5000/Z51/Z82 LEX7000 - additional driver for Lexmark 2050/3200/5700/7000 (probably -- haven't tested yet) The Canon drivers have been updated but are now available as source RPMs, almost all these drivers are old and unmaintained. I haven't finsished building an updated ghostscript, but until now those seem dead. I'll probably not update this port but I thought I'd let you guys know JIC someone has in mind replacements or so that you start considering getting rid of that old printer ;-). cheers, Pedro. ___________________________________ Yahoo!
