Thank you for mailing me the article.

I have now succeeded to reproduce the problem and identified it as a bug of Ghostscript. It happens with both Ghostscript 8.71 as shipped with Maverick and Ghostscript 9.00 (to be released upstream soon). I have filed the following upstream bug report:

http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691586

To reproduce the problem take the printing output of evince captured from the spool directory of CUPS (attached) and run it through the following command line:

cat cv_libertine-evince.pdf | RIP_MAX_CACHE=256M PPD=/etc/cups/ppd/Stylus-Photo-RX500.ppd gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=cups -r720x360 -dcupsBitsPerColor=8 -dcupsColorSpace=0 -_ > out.raster

A workaround for the time being run the following commands in a terminal window:

cancel -a
cupsctl RIPCache=auto
