Ghostscript and Opera

#21 Post by differential »

I think 4.1.2 uses Ghostscript 815.02 at least when I type gs into the terminal, that's what i get. Not sure why Mr Toad suggested changing the default paper in GS 8.51 and thinking it was possibly a transposition, I experimented with changing the default to A4 in both /usr/share/ghostscript/8.51 and /usr/share/ghostscript/8.15 but in both cases Abiword and Geany would not print until the a4 default was commented out.

Interestingly, Opera seems to print ok. Have just installed it so not much experience but seems ok.

I'm out of my depth at this point and somewhat frustrated. I tried 4.2.1 but it could not find my internal software modem though 4.1.2 can. I have been with Puppy since 1.07 but at the moment Linux Mint is looking very attractive!
