>Description:
Ghostview fails to print PDF files because the ghostscript command
that is run to convert PDF to postscript in preparation for printing
fails.  This command is dictated by the GV.gsCmdConvPDF X resource.
The original definition is:

	gs -dNODISPLAY -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sPSFile=%s %s -c quit

where the two %s are replaced by the output (*.ps) and input (*.pdf)
files, respectively.  As far as I can tell, this command does not
actually generate any file, even when run manually.  A command that
will work is:

	gs -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=%s %s

This portion of the X resources file is generated from the Imakefile.
The fix is to modify Imakefile so that the correct command is created.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to print a PDF file using ghostview.

>Fix:

Apply following patch.
