Sorry for the slow reponse, but it was a tough week. I started the
section "PostScript (PDF) printer chokes on the PostScript (PDF) coming
from Ubuntu" at point 8 because I think that I already did the former
points. Tell me if I'm wrong.

So I started at "Sending a file to the printer unfilterd" (I used the
same file I always tried to print)

hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ ls
appout  FC.pdf  printout
hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ nc -w1 10.0.0.5 9100 < FC.pdf
^C
hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$

It resulted in an immediate response of the printer. As soon as I
entered the command he started to print, but only garbage. You know all
these special signs and symbols like smileys, hearts, spades and so on
but also letters.

As the file isn't PostScript but PDF I skipped point number 10.
I used the command as described.

hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ lpadmin -p HP-Color-LaserJet-2550 -o 
pdftops-renderer-default=gs
hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$

Then I started a normal printing job, which resulted the same way as it
always did. The printer starts to blink the job is queued but never
begins an therefore never ends.
