On sparc for me concerning ghostscript & lprng:

ghostscript-7.05.6-r2 seems OK; I can't speak to '-r1'

Builds fine, and the utilities 'lpr' 'lpq' 'lpc' seem OK.  However,
1.  Permissions on /var/spool/lpd as installed are such that no user may
    queue anything;
2.  Once that is corrected, lpd won't print for me; my printcap in 
    relevant part reads:

===========================
.common:
   :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
   :sh:mx=0:mc=0

lp|hp:tc=.common:lp=192.168.1.4%9100 \
        :filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
        :ifhp=model=hp4simx
============================
The test is pretty simple:
  1.  Fix printcap to be as above;
  2.  cd /etc/init.d
  3.  ./LPRng stop                     ### Stop locally grown daemon
  4.  ./lprng start                    ### And start up the new one
  5.  lpc (to make sure everything is up & enabled & started & whatever 
      else)
  6.  a2ps -o lprng.ps lprng
  7.  lpr -B lprng.ps
And watch:  First, "no permissions" with /var/spool/lpd/lp
And then, lpstat -> "No server enabled"

This works fine with locally built lprng-3.8.10, and it seems to be
a problem with the configuration as build for 3.8.21.  Putting
force_localhost@
(or default force_localhost@) in the "/etc/lprng/lpd.conf" file does not
cure anything.

Since my locally built lprng-3.8.10 works fine on any system I have put it
on, I am just going to say that lprng-3.8.21 might be OK, but it certainly
doesn't work "out of the box."  If anyone will tell how to fix the 
configuration problem, I'll give 3.8.21 a workout, since I do a lot on 
network printing (on the printer described above) anyway.

(By the way, I could not use lprng at all without the 'ifhp' filter; have
you ever considered adding it to GenToo?)
