I've been instructed to repost if the suggested changes do not solve problem.

Here's what I've been instructed to do and the results:

Yes, the directory exists, further, I edited the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file to
add a directory in the default ghostscript path, it now reads as follows:

#FontPath /usr/share/cups/fonts : /usr/share/fonts :
/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript

Done, added symlinks from /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript to
/usr/share/cups/fonts.	This added links to each of the fonts contained, the
resulting fontset...
