Package:cups-filters
Version 1.0.44
Package: ghostscript
Version 9.05
Details:
When I print a pdf document (compilers.pdf page 69-72) mentioned @
https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/243753 , on Debian 7.0 , I can
reproduce the issue logged by Frederik. While debugging the issue I found that
the document generated using pdftopdf->pstops filters has some issues . Here
is what I did.
1) cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-postscript -o "page-ranges=69-72" -p
/etc/cups/ppd/HP_LaserJet_500_MFP_M525.ppd /tmp/compilers.pdf >
/tmp/printout_gs_9_05.ps
2) lpr -o raw -P HP_LaserJet_500_MFP_M525 /tmp/printout_gs_9_05.ps
(Printer prints error message : OFFENDING COMMAND instead of printing actual
contents)
3) Opened /tmp/printout_gs_9_05.ps in gsview
==>gsview shows 2 errors/warnings
a) DSC Warning at line 4301 %%Endprolog
b) %%BeginResource %%EndResource The number of %%BeginResource
%%EndResource do not match.
These two errors cause printer firmware to print error message on paper
4) I printed the same document in ubuntu 10.10 and I do not get any
issues while opening the generated ps file in gsviewer and printing also
works fine.(But here pdftops conversion is not done by ghostscript)
5) I upgraded ghostscript version to 9.10 in Debian 7.10 and then executed
step 1-3 again, but I still see errors in generated output file.
Please look into the issue or assign to a concerned owner and let affected
user or me know if there is any workaround/alternative, so that user can at
least print documents unless the issue is fixed. Please find all the related
files in the attachment.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Hi,
this bug was marked as "fixed-upstream" long time ago, so it was probably
fixed in a later upload. Thus I am manually closing this bug now.
Best regards,
Thorsten
