[cups.general] gs-esp: ERROR: /undefined in --get--

[Bill Moseley]

I have a PDF (I didn't generate) that includes form fields.
I can print it on my Postscript printer, but the pstoraster script is
failing when trying to send to an Epson inkjet.

I enabled cups debugging to determine the command that was being run,
then ran it manually:

bumby:/var/spool/cups$ file d01137-001
d01137-001: PostScript document text conforming at level 3.0


bumby:/var/spool/cups$ /usr/bin/gs-esp -dQUIET -dDEBUG -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dNOMEDIAATTRS -sDEVICE=cups -sstdout=%stderr -sOUTPUTFILE=/dev/null -c - <d01137-001

There's a ton of DEBUG output, but it ends like this:

DEBUG: matrix = [ 1.389 0.000 0.000 -1.389 -0.000 1100.000 ]
Finishing.

I do not know how the PDF was generated.  Is there a way to "validate"
this postscript or the PDF it came from?
