>Description:
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] GPL Ghostscript 8.63: Can't start ijs server "hpijs"
/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.)
>How-To-Repeat:
Run gs with -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs
>Fix:
Downgrade to ghostscript8-8.62_5 helps.
