Hello All,

One of the main features that I was using on Jaguar was Gimp-Print and Ghostscript to do CMYK color separations in Illustrator and and to print Postscript documents to my Epson Photo 1280.

Now I am on Panther I for the life of me cannot get this working again. I have seen posts around the web stating that re-installing Ghostscript on Panther seems to fix the problem, but other posts state that this should all be supported with theh software included with the Panther OS.

What's the deal? Could someone point me at a good set of instructions or post some here?

TIA!

I believe you could install GhostScript with Panther. I do not recall, however, if it is installed by default. Go ahead and install a new build from http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ though.

If I recall correctly, gimp is preinstalled with Panther, but Ghostscript is not.
