See http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1570 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symptoms: Emacs has always made postscript files for me y the ps-print facility. I use Linux and my previous distribution was Fedora Core 4, with emacs 21.4 and ghostscript 7.07 I upgraded to Fedora Core 5 this past week and it came with emacs 21.4 (unchanged) but ghostscript was changed to 8.15.1-7.2 The files produced are no longer readable by ghostscript. I get the message: # Error: configurationerror # OFFENDING COMMAND: setpagedevice # STACK: -dictionary- # ERRORINFO: false /ManualFeed I take the same text buffer and make .ps file on my home machine (FC5) and my work machine (RHEL3) Both files are accepted by ghostscript at work and are rejected by my home machine. Other people have reported the same error.

Created attachment 3141 [details] Let Ghostscript handle a Postscript file with manual feed setting correctly
Please attach a sample file. "<</ManualFeed false >> setpagedevice" works.
Created attachment 3148 [details] Offending PS file I have attached the sample file of the original bug report. gs -sDEVICE=x11 t2-home.ps or gv t2-home.ps works for me with a recent GPL GS SVN snapshot. Perhaps something new in Ghostscript 8.5x solved the problem.
Checked agaiun and found out that this bug is already fixed in GPL Ghostscript.
