[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#672129: printer-driver-hpcups: hpcups gets SIGSEGV on every input

[Vladislav Naumov]

Package: printer-driver-hpcups
Version: 3.12.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
hpcups gets SIGSEGV on every input
after libtiff4 is upgraded from 3.9.6-2 to 3.9.6-5
(I see no intermediate version on snapshot.debian.org).
Print jobs are stopped, cups error log says
"(/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups) crashed on signal 11".
Tried with images, text and CUPS test page.

Happens with HP_LaserJet_Professional_M1217nfw_MFP,
can't tell if other printer models are affected.

Adding/removing printer with hp-setup does not help,
downloading fresh binary plugin with hp-plugin does not help too.

This is the backtrace from core file:

libtiff4 changelog also mentions JBIG - probably thats the root of the
problem.

Temporary workaround is installing older libtiff4.
add this to sources.list:
  deb     http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20120503T000000Z/ wheezy main)
then
# apt-get  install libtiff4=3.9.6-2
