However it only seems to occur when you send something to the printer rather than to a file, e.g. : $ gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=lbp8 -dBATCH -q -sOutputFile=foo fp.ps works fine. This leads me to think this is covered by bug #138364 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=138364&repeatmerged=yes cheers graham Philippe Ribet writes: > Hello, > > I daily use gs for printing purpose. > The command I use is : gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=lbp8 -dBATCH -q > -sOutputFile=\|lpr file.ps > Package 6.51-7 is fine. > When I upgraded to 6.53-2, this command fail for each PS file I tried. > The postscript interpreter halted with an error message (undefined > variable, as far as I can remain). > Unfortunately I didn't save the error message and I restored my previous > system as I really need printing.
