Hi,

I have this issue with Ubuntu 9.04 while printing a pdf document

E [03/Jul/2009:12:50:34 +1000] PID 17595 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf) stopped with status 1!
E [03/Jul/2009:12:50:41 +1000] [Job 6] Job stopped due to filter errors

The cups package is 1.3.9-17

Kindly let me know if this bug is rectified.

Can you please attach your PDF document? Can you also create an error_log of a failing print job following the instructions in the "CUPS error_log" section on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems?

I figured out myself what was causing cups to fail. It happened to be a figure (embedded in pdf) in eps format that was originally generated using inkscape-0.46

However its very strange that this image in inkscape was actually generated by importing few .png images and finally exporting to eps. On the other hand, if the image is worked completely using inkscape the eps from that seems to work fine without any issues when embedded in pdf and prints without any issues.

pdf was generated through dvips->PS->PS2PDF

So now the question points to, whether inkscape has any bugs?

This bug hasn't been updated for some time. Can you tell us if this is an issue for you in 10.10 please? Thank you.
