ESP Ghostscript is an up-to-date GNU Ghostscript distribution including bug fixes, new drivers, and additional support for CUPS.

CUPS used to provide a customized version of GNU Ghostscript 5.50 to support non-PostScript printers. The customized filter, called pstoraster, was used by the sample drivers in CUPS, the GIMP-print CUPS drivers, and the drivers in ESP Print Pro.

With the increasing number of Linux distributions shipping, or considering shipping CUPS as their standard printing system, we have had many requests to provide patches to the standard GNU Ghostscript source distribution so that they can ship a single version of Ghostscript.

ESP Ghostscript is a customized version of Ghostscript currently based off GNU Ghostscript 7.07. ESP Ghostscript includes an enhanced autoconf-based configuration script, the CUPS raster driver to support CUPS raster printer drivers, and additional patches and drivers from various Linux distributors.

What's New:

The shared X11 driver was not built with the correct linker command (CCLD instead of CC_SHARED) (STR #1255)

The opvp driver incorrectly assumed that CODESET was supported on all platforms that supported iconv (STR #1247)

Updated the iconv checks so they work on more platforms (STR #1154)

Added support in the "cups" driver for the CUPS_CSPACE_RGBW colorspace (new in MacOS X 10.4 and CUPS 1.2)

Added "SET RENDERMODE=..." PJL command to header of the output of the "pxlmono" and "pxlcolor" drivers, this way color laser printers get correctly switched between grayscale and color mode and are this way often four times faster in grayscale (Thanks to Jonathan Kamens, jik at kamens dot brookline dot ma dot us, for this fix).

Corrected Legal paper size definition for the "pxlmono" and "pxlcolor" drivers (Thanks to Jonathan Kamens, jik at kamens dot brookline dot ma dot us, for this fix).

Added some missing "$(install_prefix)"in the install procedure of the extra files for "pcl3" driver.

The lips4 driver used a small string buffer to hold the output resolution, which would cause a buffer overflow for resolutions > 99 (STR #1241).

Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.2 (not 10.3!).
