Ghostscript 9.04-3 reverts back to use the internal lcms library. Please report if this is working again for you.

No, unfortunately not - still in grayscale.

Was it working with 9.04-1 ? If not I think it is related to the upstream changes that were introduced in 9.04. I don't have a color printer. Please find out what went broken.

(I'd like to use our Arch system lcms pkg instead of the internal one. That shouldn't hurt the functionality.)

No. With 9.04-1 I had the problem described in  FS#25500  - printing was failing completely. So 9.04-2/3 is quite a success for me... ;)
I hope to find out sth more...

I also had this problem with 9.04-3 (upgraded this morning). Reverting to 9.02-2 restores color printing with no other changes to configuration or system.

Printer is an HP Photosmart d110 series. HPLIP 3.11.7 installed.

Please advise what other diagnostics I can run to help identify and eliminate this bug.

I also have a similar problem with 9.04-3 where I cannot print in colour (just get a black page when printing a colour doc). I am using a Epson Stylus Photo R285. Also I was occassionally getting the gstoraster failure message with no useful info in error_log. Down grading to 9.02-2 fixes the problem for me.

@Andreas Radke:
Is it right, that you didn't change anything since 9.02? Then I would report it upstream.

same problem with my epson dx 7450

updating to latest 9.04-3 doesn't solve the problem
but downgrading ghostscript to 9.02-2 SOLVE the problem

Is this the upstream issue for your bugs? http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691922

If so please try to apply that patch and report if it solves your issues:

Yes, that solves it for me. Thank you.
