Bug description:
I have an issue with Ghostscript and printing.
I use Gutenprint for my Canon MG5440, and I cannot print a photo 4"x6" (or
6"x4"), it does not print anything, however I still able to print A4 paper size.
I use Ubuntu 18.04 and Gutenprint 5.3.1.
The printing fail with message:
....
[Job 143] Start rendering...
[Job 143] Processing page 1...
[Job 143] **** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.
[Job 143] Rendering completed
...
[Job 143] PID 24869 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/gstoraster) stopped with status 1.
...
[Job 143] printer-state-message="Filter failed"
[Job 143] printer-state-reasons=none
The message "Unable to open the initial device, quitting" comes from
Ghostscript.
When I downgrade Ghostscript to 9.22,
I am again able to print 4"x6" paper size.
To downgrade: apt install ghostscript=9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1
libgs9=9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1 libgs9-common=9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1
I found similar issue for HP printer at Debian https://bugs.debian.org
