Daniel,

Thanks for the info. I am only using ghostscript-esp as it was pulled in as a dependency by cups. Looks like I need to upgrade.

Best regards,

John

There is no need for using ghostscript-esp anymore as GPL Ghostcript
8.57 and ESP Ghostscript 8.15.4 have been combined to GPL Ghostscript
8.60 in August 2007.
So there is only ghostscript-gpl and probably ghostscript-gnu.
