[SOLVED] Cups-pdf printer prints a blank pdf after ghostscript-9.54.0 update.

Printing with cups-pdf (from SlackBuilds.org) results in a blank pdf.
I tested it in a clean -current vm as well and the same happens.
Doesn´t matter printing through the gui printing window in some software or with ´lp´ in command line.

I reverted to the previous ghostscript-9.53.3-x86_64-3.txz (from Feb/15, the glibc-2.33 mass rebuild)
and with that version cups-pdf works ok.
Current version is ghostscript-9.54.0-x86_64-1.

Perhaps 'cups-pdf' need this patch:

Thanks a lot gmgf that patch fixed cups-pdf.
It´s working ok now with ghostscript-9.54.0.
I will send an email to the slackbuild maintainer.

I just tested it again on Slackware64 15.0 using gs 9.55.0. The patch linked above works fine there too.
