When I  print a pdf document (compilers.pdf  page 69-72) mentioned @ 
https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/243753 , on Debian 7.0 , I can 
reproduce the issue logged  by Frederik. While debugging the issue I found that 
the document generated using pdftopdf->pstops filters has some issues .  Here 
is what I did.


1)      cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-postscript -o "page-ranges=69-72" -p 
/etc/cups/ppd/HP_LaserJet_500_MFP_M525.ppd /tmp/compilers.pdf > 
/tmp/printout_gs_9_05.ps

2)      lpr -o raw -P HP_LaserJet_500_MFP_M525 /tmp/printout_gs_9_05.ps  
(Printer prints error message : OFFENDING COMMAND instead of printing actual 
contents)

3)      Opened /tmp/printout_gs_9_05.ps in gsview

==>gsview shows 2 errors/warnings

a)      DSC Warning at line 4301 %%Endprolog

b)      %%BeginResource %%EndResource The number of %%BeginResource 
%%EndResource do not match.
These two errors cause printer firmware to print error message on paper


4)      I printed the same document  in ubuntu 10.10 and I do not get any 
issues while opening the generated ps file in gsviewer  and  printing also 
works fine.(But here pdftops conversion is not done by ghostscript)

5)      I upgraded ghostscript version to 9.10 in Debian 7.10 and then executed 
step 1-3 again, but I still see errors in generated output file.

Please look into the issue or assign to a concerned owner and  let affected 
user or me know if there is any workaround/alternative, so that user can at 
least print documents unless the issue is fixed. Please find all the related 
files in the attachment.

Thanks,
Sanjay
