apsfilter 6.1.1: convert to ps2: problem + work-around

[Wilbert Berendsen <wbsoft@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I switched from CUPS to LPRng + apsfilter + Alladin GhostScript 6.50 +
Imagemagick (newest version).

I had a little problem printing GIF's and Jpegs. Jpeg caused gs errors,
GIF printed blank page.

I found that do_convert called ImageMagick's `convert' with the ps2:
backend, the resulting postscript files where not appreciated by gs.

I changed line 262/3 of bin/apsfilter from:

    eval convert -rotate '"-90>"' -page "$PAPERSIZE" \
        ${MONO:+-colorspace GRAY} ${1:+${1}:}- ps2:- | print_ps

to:

    eval convert -rotate '"-90>"' -page "$PAPERSIZE" \
        ${MONO:+-colorspace GRAY} ${1:+${1}:}- ps:- | print_ps

which solved the problem.


Just to let you know. btw Apsfilter is great!

Wilbert
