I have checked your GhostScript command line (as visible in the log file
which you have posted) on a machine running the released Mandrake 8.2,
and there it gives the same error, and looking closer to it, it must be
generated by an older version of Foomatic, not by the one coming with
Mandrake 8.2. Probably you run Mandrake 8.2 or a newer Cooker. So you
can solve your problem by re-generating your print queue with
Printerdrake. Delete the queue and then generate it again, with the same
queue name, printer model, and connection type settings. Then your
printer should print. If it does not print or not well-centered, update
the packages
foomatic
ghostscript
printer-filters
from the Cooker and regenerate your print queue again (the update
assures that you have packages which correspond to each other and it
also fixes a margin bug). The Cooker didn't deviate from the released
Mandrake 8.2 very much, so these Cooker packages also work on the
released 8.2.
