Alex: have you tried the above test? Could you please provide me and Volker with your results, so that we can resolve this issue? Thanks!
Yes - I thought I had responded to it some time ago.The output is garbled, just like the original PDF printed out by the cups-pdf printer.
It turns out that the printing is only garbled when printing from my Mac OS X computer - when I print from a Windows XP computer the postscript works fine. So there's something the Mac OS X print system does differently that causes cups-pdf to have a headache. If you are prepared to pursue this bug to see what CUPS can do to better handle printing from Mac OS X, I'd love to continue.
Printing to PostScript laser printers works fine from this computer.I've stripped the command down to the following, that still produces scrambled output: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sOutputFile=out.pdf -c save pop -f in.ps
