The problem is, the HP (and most other) postscript drivers output a PCL header above their postscript. CUPS doesn't think it's postscript then, and things go downhill from there. Only the CUPS and potentially the adobe drivers gets this right, but I have had other nasty problems with the CUPS drivers. > The output file in /var/spool/cups looks ok for a postscript printer. > > I am a bit confused because postscript printing is working for other > printers like canon-ir5000. It probably puts out real postscript (as far as CUPS is concerned).
