# Unix lpr filter. The default setup sends output directly to a pipe,
# which requires the Ghostscript process to fork, and thus may cause 
# small systems to run out of memory/swap space. An alternative strategy,
# based on a suggestion by Andy Fyfe (andy@cs.caltech.edu), uses a named
# pipe for output, which avoids the fork and can thus save a lot of memory.
#
# Unfortunately this approach can cause problems when a print job is aborted, 
# as the abort can cause one of the processes to die, leaving the process 
# at the other end of the pipe hanging forever.
#
# Because of this, the named pipe method has not been made the default,
# but it may be restored by commenting out the lines referring to
# 'gsoutput' and uncommenting the lines referring to 'gspipe'.

# This definition is changed on install to match the
