Everyone who has this problem please, I need the following information:

1. The file you tried to print. If you did not supply it yet, please
attach it to the bug report. If the problem occurs for you directly
after boot, please you have a file from the last session still in the
print queue. You can find all stuck files in the print spool directory:

mkdir spoolfiles
sudo cp /var/spool/cups/d* spoolfiles/
sudo chmod 777 spoolfiles/*

Attach these files to this bug report.

2. How did you print? Which application did you use, which settings?

3. What is your printer/driver? Please attach the PPD file from
/etc/cups/ppd/.

4. What is the Ghostscript command line. As sson as Ghostscript is
running crazy, run the shell command "top" to see the offending "gs"
process and note its process number. Then leave "top" with "q" and get
the full Ghostscript command line via the shell command

ps auxwww | grep <process number>

Post the Ghostscript command line here.

5. Get an error_log in debug mode as described on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems in the "CUPS
error_log" section. CUPS must be in debug mode while the offending job
takes place. So clean up

cancel -a
sudo killall -9 gs

set CUPS into debug mode and print the offending file again. As soon as
the problem occurs, attach error_log and do also the steps 1-4.
