ghostscript is not found under Ubuntu Software Center

So, either install it from there or you can just update your current version to latest one:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ghostscript

If that doesn't work download one of the following:

Then:

sudo dpkg -i /path-to-downloadedpackage.deb
