Public bug reported: I have two printers configured in cups, an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 and an HP Laserjet 1200. The Laserjet works fine. I can drive the Epson satisfactorily using PhotoPrint with PhotoPrint's own colour correction. However, when I try to either run the Epson from applications (such as LightZone) which generate PDFs, or when I try to print CUPS' own test page, then it calls pdftoraster-poppler, and the following bad things happen: i) Unmodified, it uses the attached PPD, which (as you can see) refers to an sRGB colour profile that is stored somewhere on a Mac OSX filesystem. Quite correctly, it reports this as not found. Incidentally, if I run this ppd through cupstestppd, it says it can't find the sRGB profile, so someone hasn't been doing regression testing. ii) If I edit the PPD to point to the sRGB which I have on my system, then pdftoraster-poppler fails with a "Bogus memory allocation size" message. (Relevant portion of /var/log/cups/error.log attached).
There are suggestions in the fora that I should make pdftoraster.poppler a symlink to pdftoraster, which calls ghostscript, but I get another error message if I do that (to the effect that gs can't find the default lab colour profile). In any case, I want pdftoraster-poppler to work, because it's part of the new colour corrected printing chain, which seems to me to be a good idea.
