    61 Ghostscript also needs to be installed.  The current CUPS build expects to find gsos2.exe in \gs\gs8.70\bin\gsos2.exe - ie on the same drive as CUPS.  If this isn't the location of Ghostscript, you can edit \cups\lib\cups\filter\pstoraster and edit the PREFIX which points to the Ghostscript location.
