What normally happens is that someone posts the Postscript that is sent
to the printer from the Ghostscript workflow, preferably uncompressed by
using the "psdebug=true" option. Ideally, in cases like this, also from
the Postscript from the Poppler workflow.

We then go through a process where I cut the Ghostscript file down bit-
by-bit, and a willing volunteer sends my edited files to their printer,
and tells me whether it fails or not. That way we find the smallest file
that will fail.

I may then have to "instrument" the Postscript to get further debug
information back to narrow down *exactly* what causes the error, and
hoepfully work out why - possibly by comparing it to the Poppler output.
Although the Poppler output is often not directly comparable.

Obviously this can be a tiresome process for everyone involved, and can
take some time. Equally obviously, the simpler the file we start with,
the better!

Unfortunately, I can never remember how to tell CUPS to save the
Postscript, instead of sending it to the printer..... I'm not a CUPS
guy.
