Bug 689322

See

http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1570

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Symptoms:

Emacs has always made postscript files for me y the ps-print facility.
I use Linux and my previous distribution was Fedora Core 4, with emacs 21.4 and
ghostscript 7.07
I upgraded to Fedora Core 5 this past week and it came with emacs 21.4
(unchanged) but ghostscript was changed to 8.15.1-7.2

The files produced are no longer readable by ghostscript. I get the message:

# Error: configurationerror
# OFFENDING COMMAND: setpagedevice

# STACK:

-dictionary-

# ERRORINFO:

false
/ManualFeed

I take the same text buffer and make .ps file on my home machine (FC5) and my
work machine (RHEL3)
Both files are accepted by ghostscript at work and are rejected by my home machine.

Other people have reported the same error. See:
