>Description:

print/foomatic-filters has a bug in which it has difficulty
recognizing and/or working with PostScript files passed to it.
In particular, foomatic-filters seems to eat PostScript files,
producing no output whatsoever at the printer.

(I see this problem on print/foomatic-filters 4.0.7 on FreeBSD
8.2-RELEASE.)

The problem basically is that the file descriptors for the inputs get
out of sync with the C library streams.

The problem is described in (slightly) more detail here:

>How-To-Repeat:

Try printing a PostScript file through foomatic-filters.

>Fix:

One comment in the discussion thread mentions two patch files from
NetBSD.  I downloaded those two patches to my FreeBSD system, rebuilt
the port, and this solved the problem for me.

http://cvsweb.se.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/pkgsrc/print/foomatic4-filters/patches/patch-ac?rev=1.1.1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain

Is it possible to add these two patches to the FreeBSD
print/foomatic-filters port?
