Hello,
First of Mike or any admin if this the wrong part of the forum I apologize and also note that I'm almost positive that this a bug in ghostscript.

NOTE: There is not a problem with ghostscript-7.07.1!

Moving on...
My printer stops in cups (UI claims printer stopped) and my document won't print out. I don't have a problem printing in firefox and vim, but if i try in a gnome app like gedit or abiword nothing prints!!!

I am using a the foomatic bjc-7004 driver but I don't think it is related if it is pleast let me know so I can tell the foomatic people.

I did a debug2 and I found some info hopefully it useful. Full log here: http://pastebin.com/589831

What I think is needed is below:
