[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#660420: Some Postscript printer drivers (Kyocera, Brother, maybe others) do not work anymore

[Till Kamppeter]

The PostScript which gets sent to the printer is generated by 
Ghostscript, with its "ps2write" output device and in your case 
Ghostscript 9.05 is used. Ghostscript is called either by the pdftops 
CUPS filter (cups-filters package) or by foomatic-rip (foomatic-filters 
package).

So please do the following test:

pdf2ps file.pdf
lpr -o raw file.ps

This converts a PDF file to PostScript and then sends the file without 
any filtering to the printer.

Does the file get printed?
