You can try to run foomatic-rip -v --ppd /etc/cups/ppd/$PRINTER.ppd KKA-DKB.pdf > test.printer and hope for helpful error messages. (Replace $PRINTER so that you get the correct name of the ppd file for your printer. This ppd file should be in /etc/cups/ppd/ and have the same name as the printer in CUPS.) You can also try to convert the file to postscript yourself, with pdf2ps (from ghostscript) or with pdftops (from poppler-utils or xpdf-utils). Maybe one of these tools can produce working postscript. (The one from ghostscript should in principle be identical to what foomatic-rip itself does to the PDF file, though.) If all else fails then you can use pdftoppm (from poppler-utils or xpdf-utils) to generate bitmap images of the pages of the PDF and print those. (You can set an appropriate resolution with the "-r" option.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
