On the previous versions of Ubuntu (21.04 and below) I didn't have this problem. This problem started after upgrade to 21.10.

Lazarus version 2.0.12 64-linux-gtk2 is getting the following error while printing to virtual printer Boomaga version 3.0.0 on Ubuntu 21.10:

Quote
I can't start gs converter: "GPL Ghostscript 9.54.0: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
"

Actually this message is displayed by Boomaga itself. However, other applications in Ubuntu 21.10 (like gedit, geany, LibreOffice, etc.) do not have this problem and print OK.

Please, note that this problem does not occur in Lazarus while printing on other printers (like Generic CUPS-PDF Printer for example).

It is worth mentioning that, as far as I have tested, no other applications have this problem. Only Lazarus and applications developed by Lazarus have this problem.

Since the version of Boomaga is the same on both Ubuntu 21.04 and 21.10, I compared the version of the GhostScipt command: Version of gs is 9.53.3 on Ubuntu 21.04, while it is 9.54.0 on Ubuntu 21.10.

Lazarus 2.2.6 / FPC 3.2.2 on x86_64-linux-gtk2 (Ubuntu/GNOME) and x86_64-win64-win32/win64 (Windows 11)

You probably need to dive into boomaga to get more info.

But I'd guess it tries to preprocess output, and encounters some error. If other programs do work, it might be worthwhile what format they print to Boomaga and try to match it.
