pdftops filter fails on jobs submitted for printing in RHEL

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Print bobs are sent as PDF documents and we use the pdftops filter to print the job. We are seeing segfaults of the filter, which results in the job being stuck in the queue and never printing. the majority of the files that cause the problem are created by "iPhone OS Quartz PDFContext"

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6
