Hi folks,
I filed bug #575798 some time ago, but I am pretty sure, it is
obsolete by filing this one. Since two weeks I got the following error
message from the cups interface
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftoraster failed
The error.log contains an enormous amount of lines complaining about
formating issues.
Similar bugs have been found in Fedora and Ubuntu.
The error occurs by printing from Gnome Applications, for example gedit
or evince. OpenOffice.org or Icedove print well.

Later you mention that it failed it different ways.
That's because there were various indications of the "pdftoraster" bug.
I'll give you a short chronology:
[details snipped]
Thanks for the details. With my questions I was not sceptical that your
bugs was real - not at all - just want to figure out if in fact it is
the same bug we are chasing all along here, or perhaps multiple
independent ones.
Yes, I am very much interested in your continued reporting of any and
all problems you run into with ghostscript - and am sure that the Debian
package maintainers of CUPS feels the same.
It helps us a lot, however, if you try hard to distinguish problems that
might be rooted in different bugs, and file them as separate bugreports:
It is easy for us to merge bugs that turn out to be the same, but not so
easy to later split out a single bugreport into multiple ones
(technically it is easy, but it is confusing to later read and follow
what parts of the discussion relates to which later split part).
I strongly suspect that the errors you experience are *not* the one
mentioned by Sebastian Dröge as being in ghostscript, claimed (by him)
fixed in Ubuntu, and claimed (by me) fixed in Debian.
Do you still get the above error with pdftoraster?
Not on the Laserjet connected machine, unfortunately we only have
printers of this type at work (or machines which work with the same ppd
file). But I'll check my Stylus. Please feel free to set the status to
closed, I will be mailing to the buglist, if I discover it again.
Ok. I will then close this bug as I believe the original issue of
failing to print from any GTK application (and succeeding to print from
non-GTK appliations) is now solved.
Please file separate bugreports (either against ghostscript or cups as
you feel most appropriate - it is easy for us to reassing later on) for
other issues than that, and only request reopening of this bugreport if
you believe that specific issue is not yet solved.
Kind regards, and thanks for all your help!
- Jonas
