Bug Description
OS : Lubuntu 14.04 32 or 64 bit
Printer : Canon BJC 4100
ghostscript 9.10~dfsg-
Can't print, filter failed
Seems to be the same as https:/
[Impact]
With certain drivers/printers it is impossible to print.
[Test Case]
Run the following command line (from the Red Hat bug report) in a terminal window:
gs -dFirstPage=1 -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -dNOINTERPOLATE -sDEVICE=bjc600 -dPrintColors=15 -dProcessColorM
Without the fix Ghostscript crashes with a segmentation fault, with the proposed package Ghostscript does not crash any more.
[Regression Potential]
Very low, the patch are trivial NULL checks.
