Thanks for spotting this. This improved the situation but did not fix it yet. A cupsys upgrade apparently does not replace the ppds for installed printers. I "changed" the printer using the localhost:631 web interface and tried two options (I also added a new test printer, but same result): *NickName: "HP LaserJet 6P Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.4.2 - HPLIP 2.8.4" *NickName: "HP LaserJet 6P/6MP - PostScript Postscript (recommended)" And this brought a nice improvement: foomatic-rip -v --ppd /etc/cups/ppd/hplj6p.ppd ~/tmp.nobackup/KKA-DKB.pdf >log 2>err generates now a ps or pcl file (depending on the selected driver) in the "log" file. But still it does not print and there are a lot of indications to these 106 pages! The pcl version goes into error the ps version prints the ps source code. Inspecting the err file, I still see the 106 pages and enscript as file converter: file converter command: enscript -G -M A4 -b "Page $%| [EMAIL PROTECTED]" --margins=36:36:36:36 --mark-wrapped-lines=arrow --word-wrap -p- --> This document is DSC-conforming! And for the postscript version this is in agreement with the "log" file [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tail log (32934) s 5 94 M (%%EOF) s _R S %%Trailer %%Pages: 106 %%DocumentNeededResources: font Times-Roman Courier-Bold Courier %%+ font Times-Bold %%EOF The complete outputs (STDERR) of foomatic-rip are here http://alzental-castle.de/~rd/err.pclbackend and http://alzental-castle.de/~rd/err.psbackend > [...] > > > The file is not secret and I would be ok with sharing it to individual > > developers (without any formal agreement), but I would not want to post > > it unprotected on an web page.

Not sure if there would be a save way to edit a pdf file to remove my credit card data. BUT, the data are not very sensitive. All web-shops I pay with the card have the data. I just do not want to publish it on the web...
