RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Zdenek Dohnal 2019-05-22 10:00:02 UTC
Based on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1707559#c5 :

cups-filters was apparently using an undocumented feature of Ghostscript to count pages in PDFs - a feature that has been removed.  As a result, printing seems to be pretty much completely broken for any job that needs to go through a filter.

Debian bug - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=926576
Arch bug - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/62251
Upstream commit to fix - https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/commit/297cc2decc53e0b08eb03049fce375db33df2131

I'll clone the issue to RHEL 7 too, because the issue is there too. Plus we will need z-stream to RHEL-8.0.

Comment 1 Zdenek Dohnal 2019-05-23 06:10:09 UTC
