Feel like sharing the changes ?  Any pro's or con's ?  Maybe
we can add it to the default ebuild.

If you changed the workdir after ebuild * unpack, you can go on with ebuild * 
compile, install and qmerge.

Hi,

I did something like this for my Samsung ML-1210 printer. The printer CD
had the source file to the driver they added to gs5.50.  I did it the
hard way.
1. Copied gentoo's ghostscript-6.50* tar ball to a temp directory
2. Added the Samsung file, build gs, fixed compile time errors, i.e
differences in gs5.50 & gs6.50
3. make clean, re-tar'd
4. copied tar back into /usr/portage/distfiles
5. ran md5sum on tar to get new checksum
6. changed the md5 to match new file in
/usr/portage/text../ghostscript/files
7. emerge 

I did it this way to test the gs build process since I was using a
driver from gs5.5 and have never build gs before.

good luck
scott

Wow; I'm totally impressed that Samsung has ghostscript support for their
printers.  If you visit http://www.samsungelectronics.com/printer/index.html
you can see that they are promoting this ability as well.  I'll need to get a
review sample for our upcoming hardware site.

Best Regards,

Daniel,

I was suprised too, when I saw the printer in the store with a tux logo
on it.  The only downside is that its a gdi device.  I have noticed some
versions of ghostscript have support for Samsung ML-4500 which is also
gdi and this works with the ML-1210.

thats one part off the puzzle:) i'll trie that.:) but i als need a other
bin toe use the deskjes 9* printers... i need to build that as well>:)

when i add the printer, make starts complaining about a ../obj/XXX-file
i don't know why since it's the same package as gentoo uses...but what
the hack.. the bottle of wine isn't empty yet..:)
