I believe the Debian bug #294430 "New Upstream fixes IJS Segfault" is the same one as these two
in the CUPS database and Mandrake's bug tracking system - the bug in fact affects many more
B/W devices driven through ijs on Debian, than just embossers for the blind.

The details in the Debian bug report is quite wrong - it is not that the newer
ghostscript fixes the segmentation fault, but that Debian currently also ships
ghostscript modified with HP's KRGB patch (I just checked Debian stable's diff),
which breaks B/W devices driven by ijs, and reverting to unmodified ghostscript
(newer or older, doesn't matter) fixes the problem. Till Kampeter in Mandrake
just managed to find out the cause of the segfault in the last few days, and am working to
fix that for the upcoming Mandrake 10.2 with HP and CUPS. Until the problem with
with the KRGB patch is resolved, the next version from Debian is also going to
break, if it is shipped modified with the same enhancements.
