[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#486107: cupsys: fails printing test pages

[TSUCHIYA Masatoshi]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.3.7-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

CUPS on my computer failes printing test pages, but succeeds printing my
own postscript files.  It is quite misterious behavior.

When printing the test pages, CUPS complains in /var/log/cups/error_log
as follows:

    E [13/Jun/2008:20:48:26 +0900] [Job 7] Job stopped due to filter errors.
    E [13/Jun/2008:20:57:30 +0900] PID 14379 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) stopped with status 3!

This error message is not helpful to resolve the problem.
So, I set DEBUG=1 in /etc/foomatic/filter.conf, and chase the behavior
of foomatic-rip.  As the result, I got the following error message in
/tmp/foomatic-rip.log.

    Error: /undefined in ESPwl

    Last OS error: 2
    GPL Ghostscript 8.62: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

This error message means that the testpage generator of CUPS uses ESPwl
operator which is not defined, doesn't it?
