Below, you can see a really strange-looking mail. It tells me that a
bug was reported with status `Fix Released'. I think this is probably
related somehow :-).

Thanks,
Ian.

Public bug reported:

Affects: gs-esp (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Fix Released

Description:
I just did a clean install of Dapper Flight 5 (was a Breezy user). I can no longer print .pdf files using the lpr command, nothing gets sent to the printer. Converting the file using pdftops and then opening the output.ps file in Evince results in:
Error: /configurationerror in --setpagedevice--
Additional information: [/Duplex true]
Operand stack:
   --dict:4/6(L)--
Execution stack:

Current allocation mode is local
ESP Ghostscript 815.01: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

Printing the original .pdf file to the same printer from Evince works OK every time.

I tried to fix the problem by installing xpdf-utils but that resulted in
a conflict with poppler-utils so I backed out.
