Bug Description

Binary package hint: cups

After upgrading from hardy to intrepid, printing stopped working unless 'lp -o raw' is used; I've created a simple postscript file and captured the final postscript code being sent to the printer

for some reason the processing with cups' ghostscript interpreter adds the prolog but doesn't actually emit any pages to the final postscript file (which does happen when I perform a "ps2ps -sPAPERSIZE=a4 hello_world.ps output.ps")
