Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1lenny4.1
Severity: important
This issue I am experiencing was brieifly discussed on pkg-cups-devel last year,
but I found no relevant bugs, hence I'm filing one.
This bug relates to this part of the problem (as discribed here):
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-cups-devel/2008-February/004815.htm
....for the benefit of search engines and the impatient:
> This means that 'gs' will exit with exit code 1 in case of error, however,
> 'cifmp160'
> will exit with exit code 0 in case of an error. The following can be read in

....of course, the root problem triggering this issue is probably down to
Ghostscript:
> $ cat test.ps |/usr/bin/gs -r600 -g4958x7016 -q -dNOPROMPT -dSAFER
> -sDEVICE=ppmraw \
> -sOutputFile=- -| /usr/local/bin/cifmp160 --imageres 600 --papersize a4
> --media plain --paperload asf --bbox 9,14,585,834
> BJLSTART
> ControlMode=Common
> SetTime=20080221204253
> BJLEND
> CIF COMMAND ERROR :file access Error!
> not support this image format
> $ echo $?
> 0
I know nothing about any of the components involved, but Ghostscript not
supporting
an image format required in normal usage is probably a bug, requiring either
work on
Ghostscript or a change of Postscript engine...dunno.

Dear Debian User,
Further information on your issue was requested over two years ago but
there has been no response from you. Use of our limited, volunteer
supported resources is best served by not keeping open inactive bugs any
longer than desirable, especially when the package concerned is older
than the current stable Debian version. Consequently, the report is now
being closed.
You may, of course, wish to review the reported problem. It would be
appreciated if any future investigation could be conducted using the
testing or unstable distributions. If considered necessary, this report
could be re-opened or a new bug report, possibly referencing this one,
submitted. Please note there are now separate cups and cups-filters
packages.
Thank you for your report.
Regards,
Brian.
