Package: cups
Version: 1.4.4-7
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze
The cups packages for squeeze where updated around 11-23-2010. When that
happened, postscript printing from emacs broke. From within emacs I do ps-
print-buffer like I always have, the print job goes to the printer, the page
comes out of the printer but instead of what I wanted, the page says:
ERROR: invalidfont lidfont
OFFENDING COMMAND: ): stringwidth
STACK:
()
/SpaceWidth
# ERRORINFO:
When I use the Debian snapshot archive and downgrade cups to 1.4.4-3, printing
from emacs works correctly again. I only downgraded cups, all of the other
cups packages I left at 1.4.4-7.
