[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#643729: cups: printing landscape pdf failed with /usr/lib/cups/filter/gstoraster failed

[Remi Vanicat]

Package: cups
Version: 1.5.0-8
Severity: normal

Hello,

on my Epson Stylus DX3850, printing some PDF (apparently landscape one)
failed with the "/usr/lib/cups/filter/gstoraster failed" message. Printing
was done with lpr path/to/file.pdf

Converting them to ps with pdftops first solve the problem.

an example of a file that failed can be found there
