[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#321484: cupsys: No debug information logged from gs-esp

[Ambrose Li]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-11
Severity: important


After upgrading to the new gutenprint drivers, if a Windows print job causes gs-esp to crash, /var/log/cups/errors will not log anything useful from gs-esp, even if the debug level is set to debug2.

Running gs-esp manually with the crashed print job reveals that gs-esp cannot find Helvetica-Bold. This should have been logged in /var/log/cups/errors, esp. when the debug level is debug or debug2.
