How do i use Ghostscript in Gimp 3.2.0-1?
#2
Unlikely that the cpu is 32 (i386) bit In a terminal use uname -a    64 bit shows as  x86_64

Ghostscript is a dependency for lots of stuff - printers - PDF viewers ... unlikely that it is missing. However some Gimp installations might not link up to it, this a Gimp 2.10 appimage and an error message.

   

Assuming that the import eps works, then remember it is intended for printers. There is a change between Gimp 2.10 and Gimp 3.2 in the default resolution. It was 100 pixels per inch (ppi) (Gimp 2.10) it is now 300 ppi Which can give a large image size in pixels.
Do not bother with the dimensions (might be a bug) change the resolution.  This the same image with 300 <> 100 ppi  and the size in pixels is correspondingly smaller.

   

To tidy thing up, go to Image -> Print size and change the printing resolution from 100 ppi back to 300 ppi  This does not affect the size in pixels, just tells the printer the size in inches (or mm or..)

   

EPS is not a format that I use, it can be an embedded graphic image or it might be a vector.  If it is a vector then you might be better off using Inkscape. That example I used is a vector image.
