Package: cups
Version: 1.5.0-13
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I first noticed this after a CUPS update, but have been too busy to deal with
it.  Basically, when I print now, only an error page is created (if I'm lucky)
with the following information on it:

ERROR:
invalidaccess (yes, no space here)
OFFENDING COMMAND:
length
STACK:

I can print to this printer (Brother HL-5250DN) from my other computer just
fine, so not a hardware issue.  It does not matter what application I'm
printing from:  any PDF program (okular, Adobe, whatever), LibreOffice, plain
text files in Kate or gedit.  Everything causes the error page listed above.  I
also get this for an output file when I print to the built-in PDF queue, so the
output location does not seem to matter which makes me think it is not a PPD
issue.

Most of the time, I don't even get the error page when I send it to my printer.
Usually, when I print, the printer wakes up, the activity light flashes once
and then stays on.  It will sit there like that until the cows come home.  If I
restart the CUPS service, sometimes that will jolt things and the error page
will print (though that is not the only way to get the error page, it will
print on its own at times).  Other times, I have to hit the cancel job button
on the printer to reset the activity light.

I have tried recreating the print queue, rebooting and reinstalling CUPS.
Nothing fixed it.  I've had issues in the past where the last page to print in
a job will hold in my printer for a long time and then finally print.  That is
not what is going on here.  It simply does not print.

Thank you for looking into this.
