Re: failure notice

Doesn't the current free version have the escp2 driver? I remember
using it with my AP3250 and the GNU gs, however maybe it doesn't
support color?

The fonts for the new gs are in the rex (unstable) directory, under
the text category. Crossed me up when I tried installing the non-free
gs for the first time too.
It's probably an issue that non-free packages can depend on unstable
packages. Maybe there needs to be non-free/stable and
non-free/unstable? I know that at least one other non-free package
(libtiff-gif?) depends on an unstable package (libtiff?). Any
thoughts?
