I uploaded it to my public webserver, where you can download it under
http://www.goldfisch.at/temp/test.pr.gz
(its 100kb and gzip)
In the meantime things went even more strange: After a while I got the
same error when printing "normal" files like /etc/printcap that were
perfectly printable before. I deleted all spoolfolders (and let
checkpc recreate it) and now I have the original state again: I can
print almost all files (including ascii and ps) but not files like the
one above.
thnx,
