The problem is, as you suspected, caused by ghostscript. I downgraded to version 8.63 and it started to work again. You have to downgrade 3 packages: libgs8, ghostscript, and ghostscript-x. With any luck, the 8.63 versions of these packages are still in your /var/cache/apt/archives, and you can install them with dpkg -i. Otherwise you must go to packages.debian.org and get the 8.62 versions from "stable"; it seems that 8.63 is no longer available.
Version 8.64 gives an "irrecoverable error". I haven't found out yet how Brother's way of using ghostscript triggers this error. Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
