I installed: ghostscript_9.20~dfsg-3.2+deb9u3_amd64.deb libgs9_9.20~dfsg-3.2+deb9u3_amd64.deb libgs9-common_9.20~dfsg-3.2+deb9u3_all.deb onto a Sid system (dpkg warned that it was downgrading all three from 9.22~dfsg-3), and printed a test page from the CUPS admin web interface. The page looks good, although the printer printed three copies - not sure if that's something I asked for by mistake, some misconfiguration on my part (although I've printed many test pages before without this problem), or an actual problem with gs. This is a Brother HL2280DW, printing via local network, using Brother's proprietary drivers. Celejar
