Marc, I am on Disco and after a system update today I have the following
Ghostscript:
----------
ghostscript (9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu5) disco; urgency=medium
* SECURITY REGRESSION: High RIP_MAX_CACHE makes cups output device fail
(LP: #1815339)
- debian/patches/lp1815339.patch: fix logic in cups/gdevcups.c.

For me this looks like the buggy version which causes blue backgrounds
on some HP printers.
I by myself could not test it as my HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 uses standard
RGB (1) and not RGBW (17) when using the hpcups driver.
As you have uploaded this Ghostscript version, could you also upload the
one with the final fix to Disco? Thanks.

Bug description:
I have an issue with Ghostscript and printing.
I use Gutenprint for my Canon MG5440, and I cannot print a photo 4"x6" (or
6"x4"), it does not print anything, however I still able to print A4 paper size.
I use Ubuntu 18.04 and Gutenprint 5.3.1.
The printing fail with message:
....
[Job 143] Start rendering...
[Job 143] Processing page 1...
[Job 143] **** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.
[Job 143] Rendering completed
...
[Job 143] PID 24869 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/gstoraster) stopped with status 1.
...
[Job 143] printer-state-message="Filter failed"
[Job 143] printer-state-reasons=none
The message "Unable to open the initial device, quitting" comes from
Ghostscript.
When I downgrade Ghostscript to 9.22,
I am again able to print 4"x6" paper size.
To downgrade: apt install ghostscript=9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1
libgs9=9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1 libgs9-common=9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1
I found similar issue for HP printer at Debian https://bugs.debian.org
