Comment 36 for bug 361772

Fran Burstall, thank you very much for your files. With these I have found out what the problem is. It is an upstream bug in foomatic-db-engine, the Foomatic PPD generator. The Foomatic-generated PPD file is broken and therefore an unnecessary conversion of the incoming PDF to PostScript happens which lets you run into the mentioned Ghostscript bug. I have another printer where the PPD file got generated correctly and therefore I could not reproduce the bug. With a correct PPD file the mentioned Ghostscript bug does not affect Ubuntu (at least not when using PPDs coming with Ubuntu packages).
