[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#682426: cups: filter gs takes several minutes consuming 100 % of CPU

[Till Kamppeter]

The real bug here is a Ghostscript bug. Ghostscript is not able to 
render a given input file in a reasonable time. This will be best fixed 
by the upstream developers of Ghostscript. They will need to reproduce 
the bug without CUPS, therefore we need the original input file and how 
CUPS has processed it.

To obtain this information follow the instructions of the sections "CUPS 
error_log" and "Capturing print job data" on 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems. These instructions 
are originally made for Ubuntu, but the CUPS package is identical in 
Debian and Ubuntu, so they should also work in Debian. Note that instead 
of running a command as root by preceding it with "sudo", like "sudo 
start cups", run the command (without preceded "sudo") in a second 
terminal window where you have switched to root via "su -".
