I'm getting the same errors when printing regular picture and print quality is set above 'photo' (this works, but 'super photo', 'ultra photo' and 'best' do not)

Please attach the file from /etc/cups/ppd/ corresponding to the queue you are using.

How to reproduce it:

PPD=Stylus_Photo_R285.ppd.broken /usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dDEBUG \
  -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dNOMEDIAATTRS -sDEVICE=cups \
  -sstdout=%stderr -sOUTPUTFILE=%stdout /tmp/pstops.ps

--- Additional comment from twaugh on 2010-01-05 11:42:18 EST ---

Actually this is sufficient:

/usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dDEBUG \
  -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dNOMEDIAATTRS -sDEVICE=cups \
  -sstdout=%stderr -sOUTPUTFILE=%stdout /tmp/pstops.ps

Still occurs with ghostscript-8.71-6.fc12.

--- Additional comment from twaugh on 2010-03-23 07:22:32 EDT ---

Oh, this is to do with RIP_MAX_CACHE.  Setting RIP_MAX_CACHE to "128m" works around the problem.

See also CUPS STR #3535, a request to change the default RIP cache size.
