Description Peter Orlowski 2008-11-11 13:50:04 UTC 
After upgrading from ghostscript8-8.62_5 to 8.63, the following message shows up in the cups/error_log of all our hpijs-printers:
/var/log/cups/error_log.O:D [11/Nov/2008:13:24:20 +0100] [Job 75684] foomatic-gswrapper: gs '-dBATCH' '-dPARANOIDSAFER' '-dQUIET' '-dNOPAUSE' '-sDEVICE=ijs' '-sIjsServer=hpijs' '-sDeviceManufacturer=HEWLETT-PACKARD' '-sDeviceModel=DESKJET 990' '-dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595' '-dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=842' '-dDuplex=false' '-r300' '-sIjsParams=Quality:Quality=0,Quality:ColorMode=0,Quality:MediaType=0,Quality:PenSet=2,PS:MediaPosition=7' '-dIjsUseOutputFD' '-sOutputFile=| cat >&3' '/dev/fd/0' 3>&1 1>&2

/var/log/cups/error_log.O:D [11/Nov/2008:13:26:49 +0100] [Job 75684] **** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.


This can be reproduced on the command line.

The hpijs-executable is in place. (From the hplip-port.)

Fix: 

Downgrade to ghostscript8-8.62_5 helps.
How-To-Repeat: Run gs with -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs

Comment 2 petero 2008-11-18 15:41:30 UTC 
This seems to be related to the pthread lib. Setting

STDLIBS=-lm
SYNC=nosync

in src/Makefile.in fixes the error.

I forgot to mention that every erroneous print job produces a leftover
gsc process with 100% CPU load each. These have to be killed with
-9 to go away.
Comment 3 petero 2009-04-20 13:18:46 UTC 
The bug is still present in print/ghostscript8 8.64 .
Comment 4 tedm 2009-06-14 07:29:55 UTC 
It's still broken for me and I just cvsup'ed the ports r2 weeks ago.

Ghostscript7 seems to be no longer building in ports also. :-(

In Ghostscript 8.64 the file is in base/Makefile.in.  Until they fix
it:

make extract
make patch
manually patch the file
make install

is a workaround.  The one change that is needed is here:

331,332c331,332
< #SYNC=nosync
< SYNC=posync
---
 > SYNC=nosync
 > #SYNC=posync

The STDLIBS variable in 8.6.4 seems to have the -lm in it already
Comment 5 RandomUser 2009-08-13 06:51:51 UTC 
Modified "patch-base-makefile.in" as per instructions in previous PR
reply. Applied to ghostscript-8.64_6, fixes failure to run HPIJS.
Comment 6 RandomUser 2010-04-05 04:03:33 UTC 
This PR can be closed WITH THE COMMITMENT OF THE LAST PATCH. Also, v8.63
of Ghostscript has been superceded by V8.70 (which, by the way, ALSO
requires this same patch!).
