Package: cups
Version: 1.4.5-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf
[I'm not sure whether this bug belongs to cups or to ghostscript.]
When I printed the first attached PDF file to my HP Photosmart 2710,
with
lp -o fitplot r02-abstraction-symmetry-annotated.pdf
the last two pages printed fine, the third-to-last page came out blank,
and no further pages printed (outputorder=reverse is the default option
for that printer).
The error_log had this line:
D [11/Feb/2011:07:27:36 -0500] PID 2262 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftoraster) stopped with status 1!
The gs command line (also from the error_log) was
/usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=cups -sstdout=%stderr -sOutputFile=%stdout -I/usr/share/cups/fonts -sMediaType=Automatic -sOutputType=0 -r600x600 -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=612 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=792 -dcupsMediaType=-1 -dcupsBitsPerColor=8 -dcupsColorOrder=0 -dcupsColorSpace=17 -scupsPageSizeName=Letter -c -f -_
To find more about the error, I ran the original PDF file through a good
approximation of the CUPS filter chain (I didn't take care of all the
environment variables, but I did get the command-line arguments right).
The chain is
pdftopdf | pdftoraster | ...
I used this shell script (the "args" variable setting is extracted from
the error_log):
==================== cut here =======================================
#!/bin/sh -xe
args="finishings=3 fitplot number-up=1 outputorder=reverse PageSize=Letter PrintoutMode=High job-uuid=urn:uuid:7a5f7926-dd39-326a-6ecc-1484455f1a8d job-originating-host-name=localhost time-at-creation=1297427155 time-at-processing=1297427155 AP_D_InputSlot="

==================== cut here =======================================
gs fails with "Floating point exception". Should I rebuild the gs
package with debugging and get a gdb stacktrace?
The intermediate pdftopdfoutput.pdf file is also attached. It's
basically the original PDF file with the pages reversed and rescaled to fit
on letter paper (the "-o fitplot").
Running that gs command on the original PDF file (r02....pdf) produced no
complaints. Although the raster file is enormous (1.2GB)!
