I thought I did a search, guess I missed it. I will try that again when I get home later. Thanks. My next thought was to downgrade it to the 8.64 or 8.62 version for 11.1 or 11.2 standard.
Here’s what I ended up doing for any that may have the same/similar issue. I manually downloaded the 8.64 version of ghostscript and related font and library files from the openSuSE 11.2 OSS repository and forced an rpm install to downgrade the packages. Photo printing now works from all applications.
Thanks all for your assistance and guidance.
Sorry, strike this. 
Now all I get is black pages no matter what I print. <sigh>
Opensuse 11.2 Amd 64bit
Not sure if this is related. A short time back I found I could not print from any KDE apps. Printing worked ok from Gimp, OpenOffice, Gnucash. It only corrected itself when I rebuilt the plasma desktop, following steps suggested in this forum.
Give it careful thought before going down this path as you may break something.
@DMCorsa
At this stage, perhaps consider:
- Try using a different new user account, or
- Try a fresh install or trying a live usb to see if the problem is fixed. It may be easier than trying to troubleshoot/find the problem.
If the live usb prints, then there is a problem in the desktop settings for kde/gnome and you need to delete the .gnome* or .kde* files in your user home directory to rebuild the desktop.

Ah… sorry to hear that.
You did not find a suitable 8.71, then? I thought I saw it for 11.2, but I didn’t look in much
detail. Did not look for 11.3. Or you could try to see if they have it for factory.

Yes I had the same problem after a lot of effort I manage to solve the problem by installing ghostscript 8.71 . ( 8.70 ) is broken and its not only a SuSe 11.3 problem . You will find it here Ghostscript | Download Ghostscript software for free at SourceForge.net , to install you will need to have gcc and make both found in yast .(These are not usually installed automatically) After exacting , Use the command sh configure and make install . You need watch during install to check if you need any other repositories to be added . Otherwise wait untill it is added to the yast repository,
Hope this helps 
X2 11.3 intalls
I couldn’t find packages for 11.3 ghostscript 8.71 on webpin, so I tried compiling (usually my last resort). Everything seemed to compile fine, I did have to add the cups-devel package and once I did that everything seemed to go ok. After I installed it I rebooted. Normal documents print fine as before, but when I tried Photo settings I still get the same original ‘pstoraster’ failure.
As a review here are the steps I did:
Currently packages for ghostscript 8.70 from the 11.3 OSS Repository are installed
1 - unpack tar of ghostscript-8.71
2 - cd ghostscript
3 - ./configure
4 - check for errors, none found
5 - make
6 - check for errors, none found
7 - make install
8 - no errors reported
9 - reboot
Should I have uninstalled the 8.70 packages and broken dependencies prior to doing this?
Thanks for the help everybody.

Yes, of course.
Or, built the 8.71 rpm and install it replacing 8.70.

Sorry raster is for images (photos) I cant remember but I think I got it with Additional Backends for CUPS or cups-devel also I found ./configure does not work for install of ghostscript 8.71 you need to use sh configure then make install. This takes a while to compile, Also delete the printer and reinstall and use the simple driver at the bottom of the list of drivers , otherwise wait until a rpm is made and added to the;) yast repository
