I downgraded and of course had the speed back then, but now i upgraded to
squeeze and the slowdown is as horrible as before.

also, this seems to be a very common issue, there are lots of reports about
people having printing issues because gs takes a long time now, for ps that
was fast to print before. it seems upstream thinks that this is a
ubuntu/debian issue, and some people have reported that downloading and
building upstream results in a fast ghostscript.

I guess after so much time i just have to live with the 30+ times
slowdown, as I don't have the time to investigate at the moment, but the
slowdown is universal, for everything (whether it be a printed image,
gnuplot output etc.).

Thanks for a clear report.  I tried printing from chromium and it
worked okay, but it only supports printing by PDF.

Do you perhaps have a postscript file exhibiting the problem?

Ideally some ghostscript wizard can make sense of the error message,
but barring that, the ability to reproduce it would be nice.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan

This is very valuable to learn.  Did the speed ever come back up again
or was the slowdown permanent?  (Please forgive my ignorance.)

Package: gs-common

Severity: important


This is similar to bug #337241, but affects ps2pdf instead of
dvipdf.  A common conversion routine is at fault?

The error that (Marrilat) acroread 7.0.1-0.2 displays is
"A drawing error occurred."

gv displays the pdf file, but it is corrupted.

Thanks for a clear report.  Still happens exactly as described.

Thanks for a clear report.  Would it be possible to send an example of a
(gzipped) DVI file and the resulting PDF suffering from this?  Perhaps
ghostscript's PDF driver is producing invalid PDFs or unnecessarily
invoking a rarely used feature, so it would be nice to be able to track
this down.

Jonathan

Do you still have copies of these files (they don't seem to be available
online).  Even better, how can one generate such files for oneself?

Thanks for reporting, and sorry for the slow response.

For curiosity's sake, what version of xv do you have?  It seems it was
removed from the archive after 3.10a-26 or so but snapshot.debian.org
only has 3.10a-20.

gs experts: is this an error in usage or is something terribly wrong?
Even in the former case the error message could be improved.

Thanks for a clear report.

Is this problem still present for you with current gs?  (I assume not,
but it can't hurt to check.)  Thanks to both of you for reporting.

I believe that this is the same ghostscript bug reported at Redhat to do with 
null page sizes:

As gs-esp has priority on my system, this bug may also apply to the Debian

Chasing down links leads to [1]:

--- Comment #14 From Alex Cherepanov 2006-06-04 15:59:12 ---
The patch (and analysis) is incorrect. Some printers don't
support setting the page using numeric values but a small set of
special purpose operators. The table look-up checks whether
there is a predefined page size operatot to set this page size.
When there is no such operator, "null" indicates that the page
size should be set using numeric method.

The patch makes Ghostscript ignore the page size of the document
and use US Letter size for any non-standard document. This is
clearly wrong.

Probably, most users would prefer to fit non-standard pages to
the paper size.  However, for the printers with expensive media,
a PostScript error is preferable.

Do you agree with this analysis?  Are you sure it is the same bug?

Aside from that, I'd also be interested in whether the same problem
appears with current ghostscript-x.  (I am able to open PDFs with "gs
-dSAFER" on version 9.00~dfsg-2, at least).

Thanks for the report,
Jonathan

Thank you.  Are you still able to reproduce this problem?  If so,
could you send a postscript document that fails, for example by asking
firefox to "print to file"?

That does sound helpful, but it looks like it has been taken down.
