Update: The only application that does work to this printer is OpenOffice. I chose to print its output to a .ps file and saw that it correctly identified the language as level 1 and created the postscript file itself. First few lines of the file follow:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%BoundingBox: (atend) %%Creator: (OpenOffice.org 2.4) %%For: (mike) %%CreationDate: (Wed Jun 25 22:29:14 2008) %%Title: (Page243) %%LanguageLevel: 1 %%DocumentData: Clean7Bit %%Pages: (atend) %%PageOrder: Ascend %%EndComments %%BeginProlog %%BeginResource: procset PSPrint-Prolog 1.0 0 /ISO1252Encoding [ I then printed to file from Firefox and discovered that Cairo did the formatting and incorrectly identified the language as level 2. First few lines of the file follow below: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Creator: cairo 1.6.0 (http://cairographics.org) %%CreationDate: Wed Jun 25 22:36:27 2008 %%Pages: 1 %%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792 %%DocumentData: Clean7Bit %%LanguageLevel: 2 %%EndComments %%BeginProlog /languagelevel where { pop languagelevel } { 1 } ifelse 2 lt { /Helvetica findfont 12 scalefont setfont 50 500 moveto (This print job requires a PostScript Language Level 2 printer.) show showpage quit } if /q { gsave } bind def /Q { grestore } bind def I got the same failures with printing pdf files or files from a text editor. In each case Cairo was identified as the creator of the failing postscript formated file. One further point: I can print to this printer over my home lan using Windows XP from a laptop. Everything works fine from it no matter what source remotely selects the printer. Hope this helps with identifying a solution.
