Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ghostscript

  Description:    Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
  Release:        9.10
  Package source: ghostscript
  Version: 8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu14

  Upgrading libgs8 and ghostscript from jaunty (8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu8) to karmic (8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu14) gave some problems: I'm no longer able to print anything on my printer (Samsung ML-2010) and also the test page from the cups web interface gives the error: 
  unsupported format: application/postscript!

  Downgrading again to 8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu8 solved the problem.

  Bye
