It's run as /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster; gutenprint itself is just the next stage in the pipeline (it just converts the raster image to the inkjet commands to actually print). gutenprint /may/ influence the options pstoraster/gs is passed; this would be from the printer options stored in the PPD for the printer queue, possibly overridden by the job options. You should see pstoraster etc. being executed in the error log, and you should see the options they are passed there as well. I'm afraid I no longer even have an inkjet printer, and so I do not actively use or develop gutenprint today (though I am doing uploads of point releases as they are made while I wait for someone to take over the maintenance). As a result, I'm afraid I can't do any actual testing or debugging to assist any longer. Is this still an issue with current squeeze/unstable versions of ghostscript/gutenprint?
