How can I rectify this problem?

I tried using kprinter but I still get the same problem.

Is my problem due to my printer not being a postscript printer?

Don't I need to use some kind of filter to convert from postscript?

 

Sounds like a driver problem. I've had issues when I've used the 
"correct" driver for my printer that the default cups installation 
offered, only to have the problems go away when I installed a different 
driver provided from a different package (foomatic-gimp?; sorry, don't 
remember).

I've also had some success printing from Mozilla by using qtcups; 
"apt-get install qtcups", and then configure the printer in Moz to print 
to "qtcups" instead of to "lpr - blah blah blah".
