Created attachment 136013 [details] Lexmark printer PPD file that makes LibreOffice crash whenever it is parsed. I have a printer that uses a PPD file for the 'Lexmark MS310 Series'. In the PPD file (see attachment) you can find the following two relevant lines: *?FileSystem: "" *?TTRasterizer: "" Even though this is no syntax error according to 'cupstestppd' utility, it is these two lines that make LibreOffice crash (upon opening any Print dialog, and sometimes even when opening an existing file rendering LibreOffice unusable). Removing these lines from the PPD file, and modifying the printer in the CUPS webinterface with these changes, solves the problem. This only occurs when the PPD file is added to a printer, and the CUPS service is running. I have reproduced this issue on two different computers consistently. And using the backtrace parameter, I found that the exception occurs somewhere in a PPDParser related code. This behavior is bad since a PPD file should never be able to crash LibreOffice without any errors/warnings.

It sounds like you already got one, but just for completeness: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the backtrace.

Hello jetibest, A new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
I don't know why I should be the one to go through the trouble of testing this. Since I'm in a good mood, I just installed cups and libre-office. Tested the print dialog, and it works. But then as soon as I added a new printer with the attached ppd file, it crashes upon opening the print dialog. tl;dr the problem still occurs with LibreOffice version 6.1.3.2 (tested on Arch Linux).

Hi jetibest, Any chance you could verify the fix with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ?
