Bug 361527 – app-text/ghostscript-gpl - printing images in landscape plus scaling crashes

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description sphakka 2011-03-31 21:27:06 UTC]

Hi there,

trying to print an *image* (tried jpegs and gifs) in *landscape* orientation plus *scaling* via KDE applications (tried okular end gwenview) crashes pstoraster:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The image get instead correctly printed in the following scenarios:
* landscape, no scaling, image fitting the page;
* with non-KDE apps (f.i. gimp), whatever setting.

My setup is:

  * net-print/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr 1.0.2 (testing on ~amd64 from <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337953>)
  * app-text/ghostscript-gpl 8.71-r6
  * kde 4.4.5
  * net-print/cups 1.3.11-r4

This might be related to bug <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312927>.

Cheers,

  ^s


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a jpeg file with okular
2. open print menu -> "properties", set "orientation" to "landscape" and click OK
3. expand "Options" -> "image settings", set "scaling" to "fit image to page" plus "enlarge smaller image"
4. print
Actual Results:  
pstoraster crahses and the print job is stopped

Expected Results:  
The image should get rotated, scaled down to paper size and printed.

[Comment 1 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2011-04-30 15:07:25 UTC]

The bug itself is in ghostscript-gpl

[Comment 2 Timo Gurr (RETIRED) 2011-05-10 18:58:16 UTC]

Please test ghostscript-9.02 which includes a fix for landscape printing, I couldn't reproduce it with the following versions when printing from gwenview:

* net-print/cups-1.4.6-r1
* app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.02
* net-print/hplip-3.11.3a
* KDE SC 4.6.3

[Comment 3 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2011-05-13 09:33:18 UTC]

Yeah landscape now works correctly.

Closing the bug as fixed.

Nope, sorry, it doesn't for me, gs still crashes with 
- landscape + shrink-to-fit oversized images
- landscape + scale up undersized images

  Jul 02 18:50:59 [kernel] gs[13733]: segfault at 2db3f ip 0000000000504d3f sp 00007fff9a319540 error 4 in gs[400000+4bb000]
  Jul 02 18:51:59 [kernel] gs[13787] general protection ip:5b8c93 sp:7fffbfccb5d0 error:0 in gs[400000+4bb000]

and the print job hangs. My setup is now

  * net-print/cups-1.4.6-r2
  * app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.02
  * KDE SC 4.6.3

What's your setup? Please, make sure you test landscape plus up/down scaling -- landscape alone works with undersized images (see the attached one).

> Closing the bug as fixed.

I reset the bug's status to test-request, but I think it should be reopened.

Cheers,

Created attachment 278869 [details]
undersized test image

to trigger the bug, please, print in a KDE application in landscape + scale up.
