Hello,
I suddenly started having problems printing .pdf files under cups and
RH8 Gnome and after no results troubleshooting it, decided maybe
it was a good time to try RH9. Now .pdf is ok (using acrobat5)
but I can't print .ps files.
Here's the relevant part of the ghostscript error log:

Here's my ghostscript setup:

So I tried to reinstall the fonts:
[root@xxx jlm]# rpm -Uvh /home/jlm/ghostscript-fonts-5.50-9.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ###########################################
[100%]
package ghostscript-fonts-5.50-9 is already installed
[root@xxx jlm]# rpm -e /home/jlm/ghostscript-fonts-5.50-9.noarch.rpm
error: package /home/jlm/ghostscript-fonts-5.50-9.noarch.rpm is not
installed
[root@xxx jlm]# rpm -Uvh /home/jlm/ghostscript-fonts-5.50-9.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ###########################################
[100%]
package ghostscript-fonts-5.50-9 is already installed
[root@xxx jlm]#
So I can't uninstall them because they're not there and I can't
reinstall
them because they *are* there. Was the last operation a reinstall?
I can't find the missing fonts anywhere else on the computer using
locate.
What should I try next? Thanks in advance,
John
