Title:
Cups expects Postscript format from remote client
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I'm trying to print a PDF file to a shared Cups network printer (HP
LaserJet P1505 using the foo2xqx driver) and it fails because it is
expecting a Postscript file but the job is in a different format.
Either Cups should accept other formats or the client may be sending
the wrong format. I retrieved the print job from the queue and the
format is a gzip'd PJL encapsulated PostScript document text
The relevant part from error_log

The same file prints fine from the local machine that the printer is
attached to though.
