Hi,

I got a problem printing PDF files on a Linux system using LPRNG
3.8.2 and IFHP 3.5.2. The PDF file is not printed, just a error
message on a single sheet of paper:


Conversion failed for type 'pdf_document,_version_1.2'
Using '/usr/bin/pdf2ps'
Error: 'Converter exited with status 'exit status 1''


This is most likely created by ifhp; this is also confirmed
by the status file in the spool directory:

pdf2ps invoked manually works fine (for all PDF files I tried), so
it should be ok. As I am using the new AFPL Ghostscript version 7.3
the problem may be in the call of pdf2ps in ifhp (may be a change
in the pdf2ps options or gs options in pdf2ps?).

Any suggestions?
