This obviously is another type of error. Previously, gs reported
	GPL Ghostscript 8.54: Can't start ijs server "hpijs"
but now it reports
	Error: /ioerror in --.outputpage--
which means that Ghostscriot could not write to the
output (it's a pity these messages are quite unspecific).
What srikes me in addition is that the foomatic-rip reports a
Segmentation fault. I suspect there is a little bit more wrong
than just the gs command line parameters.
