             Bug #: 54317
           Summary: Generated postscript prologue broken for Brother
                    printers
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: dilfridge at gentoo.org


This is possibly a bug in the Brother printer postscript interpreters, but I'm
forwarding it here (from the linked Gentoo bug) for completeness and to get
your opinion. 
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412135

Postscript generated by poppler (0.20) produces an error like 

ERROR NAME;
   configurationerror
COMMAND;
   setpagedevice
OPERAND STACK;
   --dicttype--

on the first printed page. Subsequent pages are printed correctly. Applying the
following patch seems to "fix" the problem:

This may be related to bug 17952 or bug 18711.
