Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.27~dfsg-1
Severity: normal


Most print jobs fail with "filter failed".  Only acroreader is able to print PDF files.


The entry in /var/log/cups/error_log is:

cups-filters has not been upgraded since at least 3/1.

I found these in my backups:
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root   94436 Apr  9 21:00 /tmp/ghostscript_9.26a~dfsg-2_amd64.deb
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3449200 Apr  9 21:00 /tmp/ghostscript-doc_9.26a~dfsg-2_all.deb
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root   90360 Apr  9 21:00 /tmp/ghostscript-x_9.26a~dfsg-2_amd64.deb
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root   26948 Apr  9 21:00 /tmp/libfile-slurp-perl_9999.26-1_all.deb
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2197888 Apr  9 21:00 /tmp/libgs9_9.26a~dfsg-2_amd64.deb
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5135548 Apr  9 21:00 /tmp/libgs9-common_9.26a~dfsg-2_all.deb

After downgrading to those versions, printing works again.


I conclude that the last version of Ghostscript is (at least) incompatible with CUPS.
