Jeremy,

Whilst we will investigate this, we are confident that the Postscript
being emitted by Ghostscript is valid and correct, based on our own
inspection of the Postscript code, and since it works correctly on a
large number of devices.

Given that, it seems almost certain that there is a bug in the
Postscript implementation on this printer.

As I said, we'll investigate, and hopefully find a workaround, but I
would *STRONGLY* urge you, once Till posts instructions on how to gather
the Postscript being sent to the printer, to report the problem to Xerox
(including the problematic Postscript file in your report). On a printer
of this spec and cost, there is no excuse for the Postscript interpreter
being broken.

I feel quite strongly on this: if Ghostscript fails to interpret valid
Postscript or PDF (and even many, many invalid PDFs!) we are
expected/obligated to fix Ghostscript - we would be berated heavily for
suggesting that the producer be changed to work around our bug. I don't
see why bugs in other consumers be treated differently.

Chris
