Description Dr. Werner Fink 2009-06-24 06:51:15 UTC

this is a long missed update of the old printer drivers bjc600 and bjc800

Comment 1 Dr. Werner Fink 2009-06-24 06:54:33 UTC

Created attachment 5155 [details]
ghostscript-8.62-bjc.dif

Which is done with this patch.	It was done by the original author of the
driver and adopted to last few ghostscript version the last few years. This
because I had a BJC 600 as my own.

Comment 2 Ray Johnston 2009-06-25 10:24:41 UTC

Reassign for patch review and review of license status (copyright of modules
in 'base' should be Artifex).

Comment 3 Hin-Tak Leung 2010-05-02 03:12:38 UTC

Grabbing a Ralph's bugs.

Comment 4 Hin-Tak Leung 2010-08-02 00:17:43 UTC

Confirm and re-assign bugs with attached/in-line patches for another person to review.

Comment 5 Till Kamppeter 2010-08-02 12:58:38 UTC

Werner, can you update the patch so that it applies to Ghostscript's current SVN state? Thanks.

Comment 6 Till Kamppeter 2010-08-02 13:23:37 UTC

Werner, can you also tell what the benefits (new features, bug fixes) of the driver update are?

Comment 7 Chris Liddell (chrisl) 2013-11-07 07:14:49 UTC

As the patch no longer applies cleanly, and there are aspects in it which look slightly suspicious to me, and as I have no way to test the change, and finally, seeing the comment from LPD in the source file, I feel this bug is no longer viable.
