I solved this issue by disabling tbcp from the ifhp.conf file.
Now I manage to print postscript and text documents to the printer!
But I do have some questions:
When examining the log file it looks like the connection opens and
closes before the pagecount command is given. Is this correct?
Log file:
...

After a while a connection is made. ifhp is getting the pagecounter:

After getting the ifhp closes the connection an opens it again for
sending the file.

So it looks like every time ifhp starts a conenction to the Phaser
560 I get a "Connection refused" but after about one secon the
connection opens again. Is this correct?
I also tried the sync option and here is the results:
ifhp 10:20:34.186 [28877] Open_device: device 'tek560%9100'

ifhp 10:20:34.243 [28877] Do_sync: using sync '^D%!PS-Adobe-2.0

ifhp 10:20:54.244 [28877] Do_sync: attempt 2

ifhp 10:20:54.249 [28877] Do_sync: using sync '^D%!PS-Adobe-2.0
( %%[ echo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]%% ) print () = flush^D'
...
and then the printers hangs with an open connection. The status on
the printer is Receiving data and I have to restart the printer with
the power switch.
But one sheet of paper got printed giving this error message:
ERROR: undefined (COMMAND TYPE: nametype)
OFFENDING COMMAND: flush "flush^D^D"
OPERAND STACK: (0 total entries)
...
Any ideas or hints??
