This bug is a placeholder to record efforts to get all the distributions to invoke ghostsript with the proper job-server options when it's used in a printing context. Namely: -c "false 0 startjob pop" -f and for gs 8.11 and later additionally: -dNOOUTERSAVE http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-devel/2002-August.txt http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2003-July/003465.html Bug 624515 was formerly a placeholder for this, but the title was based on an earlier problem report and confusing
Mark this as enhancement to reflect it's practical priority.
We may not want to fully evalgelize this until 687079 is closed.
Actually, the -dJOBSERVER option makes this much easier and those that need actual printer emulation can now access this. This has been part of our regression testing since forever. Closing as WORKSFORME. As far as the linux distro folks, they can use it if they want, but it won't really do much for them.
