Package: cupsys
Version: 1.3.7-5
Severity: important
This package worked just fine until the latest update from CUPS 1.3.7-1 to the
present set of packages. While I can print some PDFs, other pdfs (such as ones
created on the Macintosh) fail. Please note that this problem does *not* seem
to be related to the XPDF utils -- the problem only occured after the latest
CUPS update.
According to the debug output,

For *some* older pdf files created on this Linux box, I see errors such as:
D [25/Apr/2008:08:05:23 -0500] [Job 208] Error: /ioerror in --image--
I if convert these failing older PDF files to PDF using ImageMagick ("convert
x.pdf x.pdf"), the files print -- but the output is completely erroneous, a
mass of splotches overlaying some distorted text.
The test print page prints normally. Some PDF files print normally. I suspect
that the problem lies with the pstops or pdftops filters, but I can't find any
documented method to test these filters.
Please let me know if you need additional information.

Apparently this had something to do with xpdf-utils? Nowadays
xpdf-utils is a dummy package that pulls in poppler-utils.
Well, so goes the theory. Unfortunately when this was reassigned
to ghostscript it was not rephrased as a ghostscript bug, and I
can't really see anything to do about it. Plus it's from so long
ago, it's probably past the point of debuggability... so I'm giving
up and closing it.
Martin, Moshe, please reopen this if you have ideas for pursuing it
further.
Thanks,
Jonathan
