Probably the custom page size was selected but bogus values for the
width and the height of the paper supplied, or no values at all.
This can for example happen if:
* A printing dialog does not support custom page sizes by showing input fields
for the dimensions of the paper when the page size "Custom" is selected, but it
allows to select "Custom", which does not make sense without dimensions. To see
correctly implemented printing dialogs install xpp or flphoto from Universe.
* On the command line of "lp" or "lpr" the option "-o PageSize=Custom" was
supplied and not "-o PageSize=Custom.10x20cm".
* An application sends option strings in localized format to CUPS, for example
"PageSize=Custom.20,5x11,5cm" (Note that here "," instead of "." is used as
decimal point).
There are two things which need fixing:
* foomatic-rip should fall back to the default paper size if the dimensions for
a custom paper size are bogus.
* Applications (or the desktop's printing dialog) should send correct custom
paper sizes or not allow to choose "Custom" as paper size.
This is not a Ghostscript bug, as the input is bogus.
