How did you install Ghostscript in the first place? If you used a
tool like RPM, then you can use it's uninstall/install options to do
the upgrade.

If you simply got a precompiled copy of Ghostscript and "restored" it
to the IFS directories, you'd want to delete those, and restore a
newer version in it's place.

Not sure if that'll help you or not... Personally, I've always found
that Adobe Reader handles PDF much better than Ghostscript.
Unfortunately, Adobe Reader is hard to drive from a program (vs being
user-driven) and as far as I know, nobody has yet gotten it to work on
IBM i. Too bad.

I installed the pdf2ps2outq utility off the youngiprofessionals.com
website. It works for some PDF files but not the ones I really need
to print. Those PDF files are generated using a 3rd party tool.
Their tech support doesn't really have any idea, but they suggested I
update Ghostscript. Anyone know how to do that?
