Was running net-print/cups-1.1.20-r5, app-text/ghostscript-7.07.1-r7, net-print/hpijs-1.5. Have an HP Deskjet 812c and a Pentium 4 system. Wasn't able to print from OpenOffice or lpr of simple text file. Don't print often but seemed to be a fairly recent problem. Trying different drivers for 812c didn't seem to help. Enabled cups debug messaging. Cups error_log seemed fine until renderer lines: D [27/Nov/2004:00:35:32 -0500] [Job 30] Starting renderer D [27/Nov/2004:00:35:32 -0500] [Job 30] JCL: <job data> D [27/Nov/2004:00:35:32 -0500] [Job 30] D [27/Nov/2004:00:35:32 -0500] [Job 30] renderer PID kid4=7711 D [27/Nov/2004:00:35:32 -0500] [Job 30] renderer command: gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=cdj670 -dPapertype=0 -dQuality=0 -dRetStatus=1 -dMasterGamma=1.000000 -dGammaValC=0.000000 -dGammaValM=0.000000 -dGammaValY=0.000000 -dGammaValK=0.000000 -sO utputFile=- - D [27/Nov/2004:00:35:32 -0500] [Job 30] foomatic-gswrapper: gs '-dBATCH' '-dPARANOIDSAFER' '-dQUIET' '-dNOPAUSE' '-sDEVICE=cdj670' '-dPa pertype=0' '-dQuality=0' '-dRetStatus=1' '-dMasterGamma=1.000000' '-dGammaValC=0.000000' '-dGammaValM=0.000000' '-dGammaValY=0.000000' ' -dGammaValK=0.000000' '-sOutputFile=| cat >&3' '/dev/fd/0' 3>&1 1>&2 D [27/Nov/2004:00:35:32 -0500] [Job 30] renderer return value: 139 D [27/Nov/2004:00:35:32 -0500] [Job 30] renderer received signal: 139 D [27/Nov/2004:00:35:32 -0500] [Job 30] Process dying with "The renderer may have dumped core.", exit stat: 3 D [27/Nov/2004:00:35:32 -0500] [Job 30] The renderer may have dumped core.

Downgraded app-text/ghostscript-7.07.1-r7 to the previous app-text/ghostscript-7.07.1-r1 that I had installed. Looks like the active r1 use flags are: +X -cjk +cups -debug. And r7 flags are +X -cjk +cups -debug -emacs +truetype. Printing from OpenOffice and lpr work again downgraded to r1. Hoping you can determine what broke between r1 and r7 so that future versions will work. Thanks.
