Ghostscript is a versatile processor for Postscript data with the ability to render Postscript to different targets.
Ghostscript will utilize: cups-1.1.18 and gimp-print |
Install Ghostscript by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install |
To finish the installation, unpack the font packages into /usr/share/ghostscript.
--enable-gimp-print : This switch enables the building of the gimp-print driver.
--enable-ijs : This switch enables the IJS driver support.
The Ghostscript package contains gs, pstoraster and filters.
gs is the ghostscript interpreter. It is responsible for rendering the postscript data.
pstoraster allows CUPS to filter output to non-postscript printers. It is built and installed if cups-1.1.18 is found.
