Hi,

I have RH9 with the Samba 3.01pre and cups 1.1.19
and it has ghostscript 7.05 installed with lots of dependencies.

I want to use ESP ghostscript version 7.07 because
it has ready made cups support.

7.07 installed into a different directory than 7.05
/usr/share/ghostscript/7.05 vs. /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07

I did a "gs -h | cups" and cups support is not reported so
I think the ESP 7.07 cups support is not being utilized.
The other option mentioned was patching and recompiling
with cups support which is an inferior solution.

How do I make the system reference the 7.07 resources?
I don't know which files control/configure the usage.

Regards,
Stephen
