OK, but then, this was not the same bug. I've reopened my bug upstream
with the following comments:
In bug 699830, the user was using gs directly. Here, I'm using
ps2pdf, which is described as a conversion tool:
Convert PostScript to PDF using ghostscript
(actually, the description is a bit incorrect since it can take
PDF files in input, not just PostScript files).
As a conversion tool, it should neither lose information, nor
assume anything about what will be done with the PDF file. Thus
-dPrinted=false should be passed to gs by the ps2pdfwr script.
If this is not intended to be a conversion tool, the description
should be fixed.
