I have just notived that after the installation of the new gs packages cups gives an error while trying to print with a 'true' printer related to /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip. However, after uninstalling the new gs packages, and reinstalling the original feisty packages, the printer prints correctly. -- [GPL GS WORKS] MASTER [apport] gs-esp crashed with SIGSEGV in pdf_find_same_resource() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103595 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
