You are right. The difference really comes from using a CMYK color
mode (*). I noticed a difference for that printer when using 

0 0 0 setrgbcolor

instead of 

0 setgray

or 

0 0 0 1 setcmykcolor

in the postscript source. The first one results in halos, the
others not. So using CMYK in any case would be an improvement here.
Also the colors look right when using CMYK instead of RGB. This printer
produces some ugly blue when using 

0 0 1 setrgbcolor

instead of 

1 1 0 0 setcmykcolor.

Is there a easy way to enable CMYK output for poppler? Or maybe this go
to cairo's postscript output.

(*) It produces pure black letters when using grayscale printout mode,
not when using color mode.


Thanks a lot,
