RedHat9, CUPS and Foomatic, Couldn't exec foomatic-gswrapper

When trying to print any postscript file, I get this error in the log (loglevel is debug2):

D [05/May/2003:00:30:42 -0700] [Job 15] Couldn't exec foomatic-gswrapper -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -sDeviceManufacturer="HEWLETT-PACKARD" -sDeviceModel="DESKJET 920" -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=842 -dDuplex=false -r300 -sIjsParams=Quality:Quality=0,Quality:ColorMode=2,Quality:MediaType=0,Quality:PenSet=2 -dIjsUseOutputFD -sOutputFile=- - at /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic line 1097.

foomatic-gswrapper is in /usr/bin, and I can run that command by hand (as root) and it correctly turns postscript into hpijs data.

I'm using RedHat9.0, with only RedHat rpms. Oh, and in my process of debugging, I tried the RH rawhide rpms for cups 1.1.18. No change.

----------Flash Update----Problem SOLVED------

Urgh... the problem was fixed by typing
chmod -R a+rX /usr/share/fonts
Several directories and files there were only readable by root.

It appears that ghostscript was dying silently over this.

Thanks for listening!

In any case, this is a Ghostscript installation issue that should be reported to Red Hat (the people that packaged the software...)
