Whatever the reasons for having two different GS-ports, the apsfilter insists on the version 7.x (ghostscript-gnu), which, indeed, seems to have a wider selection of drivers: # ./SETUP Found ghostscript version 8.61 ... You have to upgrade at least to gs version 6.50! But you should upgrade to gs 7.00 for full driver support prior installing printers with SETUP. Do you you want to continue? [Y/n] Yet, some other port (teTeX?) installed ghostscript-gpl and I'm now forced to replace one with the other to regain the use of printer (Brother-1270, using the hl1250 driver)... Is it time for "USE_GHOSTSCRIPT" knob? -mi
