If you have empty print queues and get a Ghostscript crash right after
boot, it is possible that you have a PostScript (or PDF) file on your
desktop and Ghostscript is used for generating the thumbnail image (the
preview image which you see on your desktop).
Can you all boot 13.10 (Saucy) and 14.04 (Trusty, current version under
development) from a live CD/USB stick and try whether the problem is
solved in that version? Please do a complete system update after booting
this version and do not reboot when being asked for after the update.
Simply ignore or minimize the dialog asking yo for rebooting. There is a
new version of Ghostscript which can have the crash fixed.
