[gentoo-user] SOLVED: samsung network printer on amd64 - only half page printed

[Istvan Pongracz <gentoo.macs@freemail.hu>]

Hi,

Looking into logs, and digging the net, I found that, gs 
(ghostscript-esp) did segmentation fault.

I downgrade esp package to 7.07.x, the same, segfault. (1st advice on 
the net, kubuntu forum).

Latest ghostscript-gnu (advice from somewhere on the net), the same, 
segfault.

I installed the latest ghostscript-afpl, working perfectly.

Regards,
István
