Error: /rangecheck in .installpagedevice

I have a Postscript file that causes the following ghostscript error in the pstoraster stage:

Error: /rangecheck in .installpagedevice

ESP Ghostscript 7.05.4: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

This is a large file produced by Interleaf, but I reduced it to the following:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
/inch { 72 mul } def
/skiphead save def
statusdict begin 8.824 inch 6.617 inch 0.000 inch 0 setpageparams end
/Times-Roman findfont 12 scalefont setfont
72 72 moveto (Hello, World!) show
showpage
skiphead restore

I can reproduce the problem with:

gs-esp -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=cups -sOUTPUTFILE=/dev/null foo.ps

I can view the file with "gs", and I can print it on a Postscript printer. The problem disappears when I remove the statusdict line or the skiphead line. Is this a problem in the cups driver, or is the Postscript invalid?

setpageparams is a Level 1 command and is no longer supported. You should be using setpagedevice.
