Sorry, I haven't spoken, read or written German since I was at school!
But Google translate did a good enough job to get the idea of what they
said and, frankly, I strongly disagree with what they say.

What they have written implies that they have not actually analysed the
Postscript you have sent, they have simply looked at the error message,
and replied based on that.

Valid Postscript adheres to a standard (written and published by Adobe),
and whilst various companies have their own additional customisations,
the core language must adhere to the standard or it is not valid
Postscript.

I have access to six different Postscript implementations: Adobe
Distiller, Global Graphics Harlequin, Global Graphics JaWS, a Postscript
implementation also from Kyocera(!!), Ghostscript (of course!), and with
sufficient prior arrangement, Adobe CPSI.

All the above run your file to completion without errors or warnings
(including the Kyocera one).

In addition, I've looked fairly carefully at the Postscript myself, and
I see no problems with it.

Based on the above, the Opera Postscript output is valid, correct
Postscript, and the bug is with the printer.

FWIW, I am quite happy for you to quote me on that, or even to follow up
with Kyocera Germany on your behalf (assuming they can accept e-mails in
English!).

There is almost no point trying to compare the Postscript produced by
different applications - Postscript is a turing complete programming
language, as well as page description language, there are, therefore, an
almost infinite number of totally different ways a given page can be
represented. It's *highly*  unlikely you (or anyone) will be able to
look at the two sets of output, and pin-point the cause of the problem.

The only way to narrow down the problem is, as I described before, for
someone like me to hand edit the Postscript, progressively cutting it
down, and possibly "instrumenting" it, so that you can try the each
iteration on your printer, until we reach the one thing (or set of
things) that causes the problem. It is a laborious process, that takes
time, paper and toner, but it really is the only option.
