How to debug pstoraster-Problem?

[Sven Utcke]

Hi,

for pretty much any nontrivial printjob I see something like the following in the error_log:

i.e. pstoraster fails.  This is using cups-1.3svn-r6014, espgs-8.15.3, and gutenprint-5.0.0 (although I get similar results using espgs-7.05.5).  Now, the vexing thing is that running pstoraster on the _original_ PS-file does not produce an error.  In order to debug this some more I need access to the modified PS which get's passed to pstoraster --- any ideas, anyone?

For the record: this is

trixie>/software% uname -a
Linux trixie 2.4.10-4GB #1 Mon May 12 08:48:01 CEST 2003 i586 unknown

and the printer is an Epson Stylus D88.  I compiled all the packages myself.

Any help appreciated!
