Description Barry Kauler 2005-06-12 07:20:42 UTC

The title says it all.
I use the Gimp-Print (now called GutenPrint) IJS printer drivers.

In Puppy Linux I was using Gimp-Print 2.4.27pre1 and IJS 0.35
with AFPL Ghoastscript 8.11, and it worked fine.
Upgraded to AFPL 8.51 and found that the -sProcessColorModel command
line option causes a segmentation fault.

I tried latest GutenPrint, still crashes.

I tried latest ESP Ghostscript, 7.07.1 (which incidentally hasn't
been upgraded since 2003) and that works with -sProcessColorModel.

This option is very important for color handling of IJS printing,
so I am unable to use GS 8.51.
So, somewhere between 8.11 and 8.51 this bug has come in!

Please check whether the fix for bug 688048 helps.

Comment 2 Barry Kauler 2005-06-13 17:13:51 UTC

Ah, bug 688048 is my exact problem.
I am using -sProcessColorModel=DeviceGray and getting the segfault.

Okay, I'll try the patch and report back.

I have applied the patch from bug 688048 to 8.51 source, and I'm happy to report
GS now does not crash! Thanks guys.
