The problem is not really to do with the memory available.

Because of the way the cups device can change color space, and uses
"non-standard" color spaces, we have it claim to be a DeviceN device, so
ICC profile validation doesn't error out. But that, as it turns out,
ends up with trying to use a default DeviceN fill_rectangle method
(which returns an error, because of the nature of DeviceN we can't
really provide a functional default implementation).

That's what happens with RIP_MAX_CACHE = 128


Using smaller memory size, we go through the clist, and that creates a 32 bit 
memory device to render the bands, hence bypasses the above problem.


I'll need to discuss this with Michael.

Title:
  Printer stopped printing paper size 4"x6" after update ghostscript to
  9.26

Status in GS-GPL:
  Unknown
Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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
