Bug Description
There is/was a buffer boundary problem in the rastertoepson filter coming with cups, which only affects A6 paper size on any Linux.
The filter crashes at the end of the first page and leaves the dot matrix printer in an non-reseted state. This leaves to several problems later.
Because it is a Memory Management Bug and CUPS is a security sensitive package, this may even lead to security issues.
I already filed the bug upstream and there it was fixed within one week.

Please backport the fixes:

to the cups package.
Any information and files needed are in the github issue mentioned above.
