Please replace your /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops file by the attached file (and assure that it stays executable, for example with "sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops"). Now try to print again. Does it work now?

This file uses a slightly different method to convert PDF to PostScript. Probably the old PostScript was somehow incompatible with the printer's interpreter and in general somewhat broken.

I completely reinstalled Jaunty. Ran all the updates.
The new pdftops file doesn't change anything

the ppd file from Intrepid doesn't change anything :-(

sudo modprobe parport_pc doesn't change anything :-(

Another ppd Generic doesn't change anything :-(

Same problem, printer doesn't print. Computer asks if the printer is connected.

And still, when booted in Hardy, Intrepid, Mint6 or Windows, the printer works fine from the very same machine.

Do you have any other suggestion?
