Q:
After installing the latest Eloquence Patch for eqpcl i now
have a problem. At every print command it says
"rangecheck in .putdeviceprops" and the output-pdf
file is broken. I'm using ghostscript 8.15.
A:
eqpcl versions as of patch PE82-1507060 uses color profiles
to improve color conversions. Unfortunately, this seems to
trigger a defect in older Ghostscript versions.
As a workaround, the eqpcl configuration may be modified
to use eqpcl with older Ghostscript.
Please specify the gs.pdf.opt option in the eqpcl.cfg
config file under the gs custom options comment.
gs.pdf.opt = -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4
For Ghostscript 8.62 and newer the gs.pdf.opt option should be
changed to add the UseCIEColor option.
gs.pdf.opt = -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dUseCIEColor=true
Otherwise ghostscript will emit the following warning:
Set UseCIEColor for UseDeviceIndependentColor to work properly.
