Description of problem:
After updating to ghostscript-8.70-5.fc12.x86_64, the printer only prints black pages with small vertical lines and some patterns on it. After downgrading to ghostscript-8.70-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm, everything works fine again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ghostscript-8.70-5.fc12.x86_64
cups-1.4.2-20.fc12.x86_64
turboprint-2.12-1.x86_64 (from http://www.turboprint.de/)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to ghostscript-8.70-5.fc12.x86_64
2. Print something (e.g. a PDF file or a test page).

Actual results:
The printed page is mostly black with only some vertical stripes and patterns on it.

Expected results:
The page is printed correctly.

Additional info:
I am using turboprint as driver for my Canon Pixma IP 4000. I don't know if this is a bug in ghostscript or an incompatibility with turboprint. Anyhow I could reproduce this behaviour on two Fedora 12 x86_64 machines.
