Really, the exact problem is as follows (I just simplified it for the
sake of clarity):

- I open firefox and go to the following URL:
http://callejero.lanetro.com/apps/lanetro/mapas.asp?pais=es&idvia=4935&num=0&muni=Madrid&mapa=tas1e65%2Dmadrid&prov=Madrid

- As you can see, the page presents a map with flashplayer. If I then
print the map (using the icon at the lower right corner), the map is
printed in black&white. At first I thought it could be related to the
flash player.

- To identify the problem, I just got a copy of the printed file from
/var/spool/cups (file.ps) and tried to print it again with different
settings, but it is always printed in black&white. The file.ps file
seems to be correct, no application complains about it.

But following your advice, I have tried to convert it to pdf and back
again to ps (ps2pdf + pdf2ps)... the reconverted file is printed in
colour correctly! (I attach this new file). So I guess that you are
right, it must be something related to the file.

I don't have any other coloured ps file, and all pdf converted to ps
with pdf2ps are printed correctly.

Now the question is... is there something weird in file.ps that affects
CUPS or the gutenprint driver, but not Evince or ps2pdf?
