Bug

DESCRIPTION

If the environment variable USPaperSizes has been set to true, then trying to display the Output Image dialog from the file menu will produce the following error:

"A device description was missing the file extension e.g. CGM (*.cgm)"
RESOLUTION

Either replace the default Gsharprc.gsl file in the base directory of your installation with this one on ftp.avs.com/pub/uniras/distrib/7v2/base/Gsharprc.gsl.

Or if you have already altered the $UNIDIR/base/Gsharprc.gsl file then you need to replace the line that looks like this:

    define_device("php7475a", "HP 7475 Penplotter A",7,,,,"gsharp.plt (*.plt)","lpr");
with something that looks like this:
    define_device("php7475a", "HP 7475 Penplotter A  (*.plt)",7,,,,"gsharp.plt","lpr");
