Problem solved. The patch of the upstream bug report did not work for me, too, but I have simply taken the gdevbit.c from the current SVN (the diff to the file from 8.64 looks VERY similar) and it worked. Rick I can print on the HP Color LaserJet 2600n again with your driver! Thanks for the report. New Ghostscript package for Jaunty will arrive in a few minutes.
