Selecting the print service installs cups, system-config-printer and cups-pk-helper, but not ghostscript. cups relies on ghostscript for the PDF/PostScript rendering filter, so driverless (IPP Everywhere) print jobs fail out of the box with: cfFilterGhostscript: Unable to launch Ghostscript: gs: No such file or directory Add ghostscript to the package list and cover it with a regression test. Closes archlinux#4595

Fair, it just restates the list literal. Dropped the file in cc25c68 - the package change stands on its own.
