maybe we can get that gs-thing solved somehow, before you throw away your
printer... ;)
Actually this gs problem made me curious, however, I was unable to
reproduce it here, probably due to a different setup.
Which exact gs command do you use when getting the error? Which version
of ghostscript? Have you tried it with a non-dummy installation of libsvga,
if so, did it fail too? How did gs crash when compiled without svga
support? Maybe you could also post an strace of the failing gs command
(or send it to me privately if you feel that is is too lengthy for the
list)?
Don't know whether I'll be able to help, but perhaps we could start
narrowing things down a little...
