A problem I have observed in the logs is that foomatic-rip calls
Ghostscript twice here. Once to convert the PDF input into PostrScript
and then to convert the PostScript into PCL XL.
Can you please try to set up your printer with the attached PPD file?
TRhe difference to the original is the following:

----------
I simply have copied the part which defines the Ghostscript command line
with the copy using the keyword "*FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF:" instead of
"*FoomaticRIPCommandLine:". This tells foomatic-rip that the command
line is also vald for PDF input and no conversion to PostScript is
required.
If this solves the problem, I recommend to do this for all non-
PostScript PPD files.
