Product: printer-filters
Component: program
Summary: cupsomatic+ghostscript+hpijs stop working
Version: 1.0-79mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
After having correctly installed and tested a printer with printerdrake
Cupsomatic+ghostscript+hpijs unexpectedly stop working on a print job and
thereafter silently discard jobs.
Activating the debug mode cupsomatic gives the following interesting log bit:

Rebooting the machine the problem disappears and the systems starts printing
again fine. So far I haven't found any other method of fixing the problem
(which is quite frequent and appears to be triggered by requiring relatively
complex print jobs).
system info:
Mandrake 9.0 with latest cups+print-filters+ghostscript patches, i.e.:
ghostscript-7.05-28.2mdk
