Hopefully, this can be rectified in the next few days.
The problems I reported in another thread "CUPS hosed" may have been due to gs-esp. I rolled back my system to a working version with CUPS 1.2.1 and upgraded CUPS to 1.2.2 - printing still worked. After uprgading gs-esp to testing/unstable it broke, gs-esp 8.15.2.dfsg.1-2 from experimental yesterday fixed printing again. Chris > > > Regards, > Roger -- C.
