I'm trying to figure out why I can't print directly from Scribus ever since I upgraded from FC5 to FC6.
I've done the obligatory recompiling of my 1.3.3.4 on the upgraded FC6. I have been using the 8.53 version of ghostscript, since, like FC5, FC6 has 8.15 as its latest version. I recompiled 8.53 also. What I have is two versions of gs, one in /usr/bin (the 8.15) and one in /usr/local/bin (the 8.53). In Scribus, I set the Preferences to point to /usr/local/bin/gs, which is what (I think) I had done in FC5. It also seemed to me that I had made some links, like for example: ln -s /usr/local/bin/gs /usr/bin/gs (after renaming the original gs to save it) so I tried that, along with several others, such as gsdj, gslj, gslp, gsbj. That seemed to entirely break my Postscript printing capabilities, even outside of Scribus, so I switched back to the 8.15 versions in /usr/bin. I've also noticed that printing from Adobe Reader is also broken -- when I look in KJobViewer it says ERROR (just like with Scribus). Printing from KPDF is okay -- that's my workaround at present. One of the things I'm wondering from those on the list is how others make 8.53 work -- do you keep your older native version or replace it? How? I know I'll figure this out eventually; I'm hoping to come up with a cleaner solution (as in more elegant, I'm not trying to wash my laptop). Greg
