I made a bad upgrade to cups ~x86, and am trying to go back. Everything installs fine, but no printing happens.
The error log (LogLevel=debug) says it can't convert the file (notice the 4th and 5th from the last lines): D [16/Jul/2006:19:23:14 -0700] AcceptClient: 6 from localhost:631.

Revdep-rebuild is clean. Any idea how to debug this? One among many ironies here is that the actual printer is a LaserJet 4m, with builtin postscript (Level 1, not much memory) so I might well be able to dispense with ghostscript if the pages weren't too complex. Another, of course is the PhD in my signature, given the bonehead moves I've made in the last week or so. Sigh. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
