Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.06~dfsg-2+deb8u1
Severity: important

When setting up a Windows client to print through my main Debian box, I noticed
that the test page came out incomplete - only the logo and one letter was
printed.

I tracked this down to CUPS using compatibility version 1.3 when converting the
PS file to a PDF file (/usr/lib/cups/filters/pstopdf). This can be reproduced
using ps2pdf13 and ps2pdf12 with the file I indent to attach to this bug report
(hoping that I can attach files).

I've changed the CUPS filter to use PDF compatibility version 1.2 and can now
print from Windows - this might be an acceptable workaround until the underlying
cause has been fixed but this is, of course, a different package. I'm still
submitting this bug to ghostscript because this is where I believe it's
ultimately located.

The importance of this defect is, I believe, relatively high because it appears
toprevent any Windows client from printing anything on a Debian 8.1 server, at
least in situations as mine whether the printer doesn't speak Postscript and
CUPS needs to handle the input file.

Please stand by for the example file (the printer test page from Windows).
