Comment 4 for bug 998087

Steve,

Yes, Ghostscript has replaced poppler, mainly due to the color management now available in GS, which currently only applies to printer drivers which use raster output - rather than ones like yours that use Postscript. Ultimately, the improved color management will apply to Postscript (and PDF) output from Ghostscript.

I seem to remember that there is a comment in the ps2write code to the effect that some filters on HP printers erroneously always close their underlying data source (closing it should be optional). I can't think of any other way for a call to create a decode filter to produce an invalidaccess error.
