37 It suggests ghostscript esp, but I have that installed, and I even
38 re-emerged it just
39 in case. Revdep-rebuild is clean.
40
41 Any idea how to debug this?
42
43 One among many ironies here is that the actual printer is a LaserJet 4m, with
44 builtin postscript (Level 1, not much memory) so I might well be able
45 to dispense with
46 ghostscript if the pages weren't too complex.
47
48 Another, of course is the PhD in my signature, given the bonehead
49 moves I've made
50 in the last week or so. Sigh.
