Maybe have a look at
this topic . You may be running into the same segfault issue chrisVV was. That was fixed by applying
this patch that ponce found and reported in that thread. It seems to have fixed chrisVV's issue.

Cups default ErrorPolicy ( stop-printer ) is annoying, especially for a Business Environment where people are printing all day ...
Something we do on all our systems is set all instances of ErrorPolicy to
retry-job :
Code:
1. /etc/rc.d/rc.cups stop # IMPORTANT ! otherwise cups will overwrite all the following edits !
2. edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf # replace ErrorPolicy stop-printer with ErrorPolicy retry-job ; save and exit
3. edit /etc/cups/printers.conf # for each printer: replace ErrorPolicy stop-printer with ErrorPolicy retry-job ; save and exit
4. /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
I know this can be done in the
Your Cups WebApp Interface but it is MUCH quicker from the commandline, especially when you've got 10's of printers to fix.
OBTW...Q: does anyone know how to enable cups to allow initial connections via the https protocol instead of http ?
Anyhow ... HTH.

You're correct.
The cups ErrorPolicy won't fix the ghostscript error that you posted ...
We set
ErrorPolicy retry-job for working printers for when they run out of paper -or- jam -or- do whatever they do so that when the physical printer issue is addressed, then all the queued print jobs will start printing automatically without having log in as root to run:
cupsenable <<FormerlyBorkedPrinter>>
Getting our Customer's printers to work is sometimes quite a trick

P.S. And thanks to ponce and the team for the fix for hplip (
now I can update my Wife's 14.2 +current laptop
)
Code:

<<snip>>
ap/hplip-3.18.7-x86_64-4.txz: Rebuilt.
Applied fixed patch - this has a better chance of working now. I've checked
and hpcups no longer links to libImageProcessor. Which, by the way, the
previous build dumped onto my main system (not even in "make install"),
but not into the package itself. I no longer own an HP printer and will
never buy another one, so if there are any remaining problems please report.
Thanks to Matteo Bernardini.
