CUPS 1.2.x is OK, CUPS 1.3.x should also work, but CUPS 1.1.x is too
old. So update to CUPS 1.2.2 (or the current SVN of 1.2.x) if your
distro is still equipped with 1.1.x.

There will be no rastertortl any more. It is merged into the
rastertopclx which comes with cupsddk. So PPDs generated by current
cupsddk will not require rastertortl. See the

/usr/share/doc/cupsddk/cupsddk.html

or

/usr/share/doc/cupsddk/cupsddk.pdf

files which come with cupsddk.

GhostScript only needs the "cups" output device.
