** Description changed:
Hi,
I'm under Ubuntu 17.10, dist-upgraded today.
Since a few days ago, I'm almost unable to print. Everytime I try to
print a PDF (2x2 pdfnup'ed books), a gs process gets stuck, occupying
100% on 1 of my cores.
Trying to use:
- pdf2ps
- gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile="${NEW_TMP}"
"${ORG_TMP}"
results in the same problem, with the creation of a ps of size 0.
Using:
- gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -o repaired.pdf corrupted.pdf
- pdfnup
- evince
work like a charm on the same pdfs.
Even using 10 pages extracts of the same books results in the exact same
problem.
- reinstalling ghostscript package results in the same problem.
+ Reinstalling ghostscript package results in the same problem.
+ Restarting cups daemon does not help either
PDF are copyrighted material (2 ebooks), so I cannot share it publicly,
but maybe I can share non-working extracts in private, on demand, for
debugging purpose?
FYI:
# dpkg --get-selections | grep filters
cups-filters install
cups-filters-core-drivers install
foomatic-filters deinstall
libcupsfilters1:amd64 install
