[Bug 119331] Re: printing from kmail is broken

[zyzstar]

This problem is easy to reproduce. The thing is that KMail sometimes
produces PS file which gs has serious problems to convert to pdf.

Try to use "killgs" file from attachment (which is a PS file produced by
KMail) and run the same command which the print subsystem uses for
PS->PDF conversion:

gs -q -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile=/tmp/your_output.pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -c .setpdfwrite -f
'/tmp/killgs'

(of course save the attachment as /tmp/killgs)

This problem is more serious as it looks. If you have such a PS file in
your directory and you try to browse that directory with konqueror then
the same thing happens (all CPU + memory occupied) because konqueror
tries to make a thumbnail of that file using gs.
