Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

see 
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59952
my version of ghostscript is below ...

Description:

Printing test page through CUPS has missing page content and in /var/log/cups/error_log:

```
D [05/Sep/2018:17:56:42 -0400] [Job 9] ./base/gsicc_manage.c:1244: gsicc_open_search(): Could not find ps_gray.icc
D [05/Sep/2018:17:56:42 -0400] [Job 9] + ./base/gsicc_manage.c:255: gsicc_initialize_iccsmask(): failed to load gray smask profile
```

Downgrading to ghostscript-9.23-2 fixes the issue.

Happy to provide additional info / open a bug upstream if necessary.

Pretty sure the CUPS indirection is unimportant; if someone dumps me a direct `gs`
command which does the same, I can post output.

Additional info:
* ghostscript-9.24-2


Steps to reproduce:

- add printer with cups.
- cupsctl --debug-logging
- less /var/log/cups/error_log



root@electron# rpm -qa | grep ghostscript
ghostscript-core-9.24-1.fc28.x86_64
ghostscript-x11-9.24-1.fc28.x86_64
ghostscript-9.24-1.fc28.x86_64
ghostscript-tools-fonts-9.24-1.fc28.x86_64
ghostscript-tools-printing-9.24-1.fc28.x86_64
root@electron# 

note this was updated last night.


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. reinstall printer
- optional restart printer just for good measure.
2. print something
- print test page, e.g. firefox http://www.google.com
  or print test page from system-config-printer gui.
3. view journalctl -u cups --since=today
4. when done 
$ su -c 'cupsctl --no-debug-logging'

Actual results:
print nothing

Expected results:
print as did yesterday before ghostscript upgrade

Additional info:
not sure how to downgrade ghostscript as suggested by arch linux bug blog 
solution above.
Comment 1 william.garber 2018-09-12 17:31:46 UTC 
I checked that the firewall was not interfering with the printer.
Not sure if this was done correctly.
I was able to print "self test page" but not "test page"
from system-config-printer.
I removed the printer from system-config-printer and from HPLIP-gui
and reinstalled in both.  
I re-downloaded and reinstalled the plugin.

system-config-printer "test page" produces:

HP LaserJet MFP M426fdw
3017      1
1

and the rest of the page is blank.
but this demonstrates that it did communicate with the printer.
If I point firefox to the IP address of the printer I see the
printer webserver gui indicating I can communicate that way.
Comment 2 william.garber 2018-09-12 23:44:04 UTC 
$ dnf downgrade ghostscript
fixed the problem without screwing up anything else I hope.
Now only problem is that 
$ dnf upgrade
tries to reinstall it.  
This second problem could be fixed by using
exclude=ghostscript*
exclude=libgs*
in the update configuration file.
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf

Comment 4 sbobber 2018-09-14 11:52:16 UTC 
also for me:

dnf downgrade ghostscript 

(ghostscript x86_64 .23-1.fc28)

fix the problem (as a workaround)

Comment 6 David Kaspar // Dee'Kej 2018-09-14 13:56:50 UTC 
Please, try updating to ghostscript-9.24-3. It should fix your printing issues.

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/ghostscript-9.24-3.fc28

Let me know if the thing works for you (karma +/- 1 is welcomed).
Comment 7 william.garber 2018-09-15 12:28:05 UTC 
I upgraded to testing ghostscript-9.24-3 and it fixed it immediately.
Added karma + 1
thanks.
