svenmeier, the original bug reported here was that Poppler's pdftops is generating broken PostScript in your case foomatic-rip calls Ghostscript to turn PDF into PostScript. So I tried to isolate the problem with
pdf2ps printout where pdf2ps is a simple wrapper script which comes with Ghostscript to turn PDF into PostScript and printout is your "printout" file. The resulting PostScript is broken, easy to see with gs printout.ps This is a bug in Ghostscript upstream which I have reported now as http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692679 Please subscribe to that bug report and supply additional information if the Ghostscript develkopers ask for it. ** Bug watch added: Ghostscript (AFPL) Bugzilla #692679 http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692679 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419143 Title: Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken ("0a" bytes inserted into PostScript output) Status in “cairo” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “cairo” source package in Karmic: Won't Fix Status in “cups” source package in Karmic: Invalid Status in “firefox” source package in Karmic: Invalid Status in “poppler” source package in Karmic: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: cups When trying to print on an HP Laserjet 4100 (through network, no possibility to connect to USB) in karmic, A notification tells me that printing succeeded, but regarding of the document to be printed, only one page gets printed with the following error message (6 lines): ERROR: undefined OFFENDING COMMAND: 0a STACK: -mark- Other printers on the same network (e.g. OKI C7350) work flawlessly, also the same printer worked on intrepid and jaunty.
