Hi Jonas,
apologies. I meant to reply earlier.
It did work better with the new package. If nothing else it pointed to
more obvious errors rather than just generic broken pipes. The problems
seemed to be caused by the scaling between paper sizes.
apt-get install wouldn't install and configure it correctly, but I then
used dselect and this completed the installlation.
It also highlighted issues with the Dell 3100cn printer - rather than
give a general broken pipe error it showed that the printer was running
out of memory (because the DPI was set too high for default print jobs)
So most print jobs are now running without a hitch at the moment.
I've just run apt-get update to get the latest ghostscript-cups from
your repo.
thanks,
Ivan.

our print server is running Squeeze at the moment. (It's also hosting

Did you recover from your problems? And did that newer packaging release
solve this issue?
If not, I just now completed packaging a new upstream release of
ghostscript targeted experimental - it is currently waiting in NEW queue.
I have backported it and made it available here (and there are no other
backported packages in tose repositories):
deb http://debian.jones.dk/ sid printing
deb http://debian.jones.dk/ squeeze printing
You need only add one of the lines - the one matching your system.
The backports are compiled for i386 and amd64.
Kind regards,
- Jonas
