Bug Description

Binary package hint: cups

After doing a dist-upgrade in natty, I can no longer print. Attempting to print a test page on my printer results in a page being printed with the following information on it:
Unknown device: ijs
Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice

etc.

Debian has changed the packaging scheme of Ghostscript vastly and I have overtaken the new scheme working towards having identical Ghostscript source packages in both Debian and Ubuntu (we have this already with cups, hplip, foomatic-*). This change made the "ijs" output device in Ghostscript getting lost. Fix is on the way.

Changed in cups (Ubuntu):
status:	New → In Progress
affects:	cups (Ubuntu) → ghostscript (Ubuntu)
Changed in ghostscript (Ubuntu):
importance:	Undecided → High

This bug was fixed in the package ghostscript - 9.01~dfsg~svn12047-0ubuntu1

---------------
ghostscript (9.01~dfsg~svn12047-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     o SVN snapshot rev. 12047
    Taken back the ijs subdirectory into the repackaged source tarball as
    Ghostscript's build system does not support using an external, shared
    libijs (LP: #704913, LP: #704157).
    Removed the newly added ./cups/libs/ directory in the repackaging as
    we use the CUPS libraries of the cups package.
  * debian/rules: Removed ijs subdirectory from upstream source repackaging
    check and added cups/libs/ subdirectory.
  * debian/rules: Override a bug that if dynamically loadable X11 drivers are
    uses ("./configure --enable-dynamic") that in the core Ghostscript library
    the X11 drivers are also built in. This bug got most probably introduced
    with SVN rev. 12025.
  * debian/symbols.common: Updated for new upstream source. Applied patch
    which dpkg-gensymbols generated for debian/libgs9.symbols to this file.
