I installed CUPS 1.1.18 and ESP-Ghostscript 7.05.6 using these options
for the ghostscript configure: --enable-compiled-inits -prefix=/usr
--with-font-path=/usr/share/ghostscript

My laser printer works just fine, but when printing to a USB Epson, I
see in the error_log that pstoraster fails with status1. If I type
pstoraster at the command line, I get this output:

DEBUG: Running /usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dDEBUG -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE
-dBATCH -dN
OMEDIAATTRS -sDEVICE=cups -sstdout=%stderr -sOUTPUTFILE=%stdout -c -
START 0 1394856 107318 1421680 132444 true 472 3 <0>
END PROCS 20 1414952 121440 1421680 133828 true 584 3 <0>
END FONTDIR/ENCS 40 1435048 136744 1421680 135212 true 593 3 <0>
Unknown device: cups

After installing ESP-ghostscript, I moved the pstoraster binary over to
/usr/lib/cups/filter, changed the permissions to 755 and moved the
pstoraster.convs file over to /etc/cups and uncommented the only line
there. What am I missing?
Thanks

What says "gs -h" about available devices ? If the list doesn't include
cups, you probably have to reconfigure and rebuild the gs sources to
include the cups the cups device.

Thanks for the reply. I wanted recompile gs with cups support, but could
not find the proper configure switch. Is there such a thing? I thought
cups support was enable by default. I ended up going with the foomatic
cupsomatic filter and ppd. After recompiling ghostscript with gimp print
support, everything worked fine.
Thanks again
