Looking at the cups changelog, this might be the bump to use a newer libpopple. Just a wild guess. I'll reassing and see what the CUPS maintainers say about it.

Bug#583738: ghostscripts pdftoraster fails printing from gtk apps
G'day. Forgive me if it is not, but I feel this may be important to this bug. Today I upgraded the cups libcups packages on my system from 1.4.4-3 to 1.4.4-7 and found to my amazement that the above symptoms have disappeared! Previously I too could not print from any gnome-based app or from the GIMP. After today's update I can print from gedit, etc. and from the GIMP as well. Perhaps the problem was not with ghostscript after all. Printing from the GIMP using the gimp-gutenprint plugin still does not work, but that is probably not related though.

Bug#583738: ghostscripts pdftoraster fails printing from gtk apps
Package: ghostscript Version: 8.71~dfsg2-3 Severity: important Tags: squeeze Hi folks, I filed bug #575798 some time ago, but I am pretty sure, it is obsolete by filing this one. Since two weeks I got the following error message from the cups interface /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftoraster failed The error.log contains an enormous amount of lines complaining about formating issues. Similar bugs have been found in Fedora and Ubuntu. The error occurs by printing from Gnome Applications, for example gedit or evince. OpenOffice.org or Icedove print well. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ghostscript depends on: ii debconf [de 1.5.32 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 3.2.3Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii ghostscript 8.71~dfsg2-3 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii gs-common 8.71~dfsg2-3 Dummy package depending on ghostsc ii gsfonts 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre44-4.1 Fonts for the Ghostscript interpre ii libc6 2.10.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgs8 8.71~dfsg2-3 The Ghostscript PostScript/PDF int ghostscript recommends no packages. ghostscript suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
