Blastwave upgrade: heads up

Mon Apr 14 15:14:27 PDT 2008

Heads up for those of you using Blastwave and CUPS: after upgrading to the latest stable version, printing stopped working for me (and a few users :-). I eventually tracked it down to the movement of two files: suddenly

/opt/csw/lib/cups/filter/pstopxl
/opt/csw/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster

were moved to

/opt/csw/lib/cups/pstopxl
/opt/csw/lib/cups/pstoraster

resulting in many error messages like Unsupported format text/plain! and Hint: is ESP ghostscript installed?. Moving them both back into place and restarting CUPS fixed things just fine.

According to Bacula (yay Bacula!) both files were in the right directory as of last night, and Blastwave's file list for Ghostscript shows the new location for these two files. A bug has been filed.
