This crash report simply arises after StartUp, presumably asd a result of installing my Epson Stylus Photo R220, whose Print Test page doesn't function, but which actually prints from other packages.

The same as authors, Epson Stylus Photo R340

With two others having the same problem with Epson drivers, I'm marking this as confirmed.

This seems to be an upstream bug of Ghostscript 8.64. Reported upstream ...

To get some more information about the input data for Ghostscript and the conditions under which the driver is used, please attach the PPD file of your print queue (/etc/cups/ppd/<queue name>.ppd) and do the following:

cancel -a
cupsctl LogLevel=debug

Now print a job and wait until it disappears or goes into "Stopped" state. Then do

sudo cp /var/log/cups/error_log ~
sudo chmod 777 ~/error_log

and attach ~/error_log to this bug report.

I succeeded to reproduce the bug on 64-bit with the following command line:

cat /usr/share/system-config-printer/testpage-a4.ps | /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf 1 1 1 1 '' | gs -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=cups -sstdout=%stderr -sOutputFile=%stdout -I/usr/share/cups/fonts -sMediaType=Plain -r720x360 -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=842 -dcupsBitsPerColor=8 -dcupsColorOrder=0 -dcupsColorSpace=1 -dcupsRowFeed=5 -scupsPageSizeName=A4 -c -f -_ > output

I get a segfault and the file "output" stays empty.

I have submitted the Apport backtrace as bug #345576 (marked as duplicate of this one).

I'm sorry but I won't have access to the cx3200 printer for another three months.

bug 343171 is possibly the same problem.

Bug fixed upstream. Jaunty fix will come after the beta release.

For testing you can download the package from my PPA:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ppa

Corrected version on PPA, please test ghostscript_8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5~ppa1.

In the duplicate bug 348006 it got confirmed that the fix on my PPA solved the problem.

This bug was fixed in the package ghostscript - 8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5

---------------
ghostscript (8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/00list: Really apply the patch for LP: #333429.

Crash Report generated by merely playing MP3 tracks in Exaile, which was installed instead of the more complex new Amarok.

Bruce R, are you sure that your comment was intended for this bug (Ghostscript)?
