Issue

After upgrading ghostscript, some PDF print jobs are getting stuck in print queue. It is just happening with some PDF files, not all of them. Running pdfinfo on the non-printing PDF files reveals the following:

# pdfinfo /var/spool/cups/012345-001
Creator:        OmniPage CSDK 19
Producer:       OmniPage OCR Service
