The problem has been resolved and the PR I had filed has been closed. You should be okay with doing the upgrades. You did not mention your cups version above but that has also been updated.

Re: CUPS and HP LaserJet 4V printer: variable width font becomesfixed width
Glenn, According to your comments (see below), the problem I addressed some weeks ago, was caused by the FreeBSD port at some stage during the upgrade to version 7.07 of ghostscript-gnu. Presently 7.07 has port upgrade "_3". I wonder if the problem has been addressed and solved by now. I am asking, since I am afraid it may be difficult/impossible to downgrade again, after upgrading the 7.07_3. My current version check says: cups-pstoraster-7.05.6 < needs updating (port has 7.07) ghostscript-gnu-7.05_4 < needs updating (port has 7.07_3) Thanks for your help, Rob.

I forced the deinstall of my ghostscript-gnu-7.07, and installed instead from the packages, version 7.05_4. My printing problem has gone now! Thanks. Is the origin of the problem located? Will it be fixed in the next release of ghostscript-gnu? Has this problem been reported to the ghostscript-gnu developer community?

The last version of ghostscript that does not exhibit this problem is ghostscript-gnu-7.05_5. I am not sure about the version number of ghostscript-afpl but recent versions exhibit this problem. See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/52187 Try reverting your version of ghostscript to 7.05_5 and see if that fixes the problem. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi, This is a reply to my own question. Could it be related to the hp4v.ppd file in /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/hp4v.ppd ?
