The bug report is

http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691499

See also the discussion in the cups.general group:

Sense and nonsense of RIPCache

My experience with Ghostscript is that if the default 8MB RIPCache is 
set that it is very unreliable. Letting Ghostscript set the RIPCache by 
itself makes it working perfectly.

I am currently looking for a solution in Ghostscript, for the 9.00 
release to come out in August.
