Lady_VI 45 Posted December 5, 2011 Hi all, and thanks for your help in advance. I have many file that I can not open with inkscape or signblazer, so I have spent hours here reading the forum and found out that I need Ghostscript, Ghostview and Irfanview. The last 2 downloaded fine but Ghostview will not. It say I need a zip program to open it and I have Winzip, so when I try to unzip with winzip it says that ghostscript is not a zip file???? Anyone had this problem and know how to fix it? Did not know that I had to be a Rocket scientists to make vinyl signs!!!!!! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted December 5, 2011 see if this works. Worked for me. http://www.ghostscri...oad/gsdnld.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BearlyRich 167 Posted December 5, 2011 The 'official' site has an ".exe" (run-able) installer for gsview here: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/index.htm and the link Skeeter provided has ghostscript as an installable .exe file. You post is conflicting as you say gsview and then ghostscript as a zip file, but these links will take care of it either way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lady_VI 45 Posted December 5, 2011 Sorry about that BearlyRich.......I ment to say Ghostscript both times.......That is the one I cannot download.It was getting late and I was rum-dumb!!!!!! Anyway I went to the link that you gave me Skeeter and still it would not download. It acted like it was going to. then when it said 1 second left my computer locked up.........then the dreaded Black Screen!!!!!!! I think I might have a virus. So I will check that out first then try again from that link. Thanks very much to both of you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted December 5, 2011 Your welcome, I downloaded it on an XP, and had no problem.. I don't know what operating system you are using, but actually with a vinyl cutter it is best to have it on a dedicated computer. And XP is very stable. I don't upgrade, I purchase used XP systems, You can still get nice Desktops with XP with serial connection, cheap on EBAY. You don't need a high priced computer to run a vinyl cutter.

BearlyRich 167 Posted December 6, 2011 Knowing what OS you're using would help... Here are two more links: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/files/GPL%20Ghostscript/9.04/ for the 9.04 version. and http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/GPL/gs902/ for the 9.02 version that I'm running here. One of these would have to work... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
