Title:
  Laserjet printing fails  at cupsd/filter/ps2pdf

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When I print the printer dialog reports "Printer State:
  /usr/lib/cups/filter/ps2pdf failed".  This occurs with test page
  (although ablank page is ejected when I do this) and with an image
  printed from the image previewer.  Also when I print from mutt (via
  a2ps). This time I got a line down the centre of the page (as it was
  attempting to put two pages into one, so that's the centre divider).
  Sometimes a dialog appears saying things went wrong "Print error,
  there was a problem processing document `(stdin)' (job xyz)" Clicking
  Diagnose prints a testpage (blank as before) then hangs for alot of
  debug output.  Why is it running ps2pdf anyway?

  Printer is a Laserjet 5M with PS simm, duplexer, >11MB memory.
  Connected via ethernet (Jetdirect, port 9100). Printing from our
  Windows laptop is fine.  Printing from this PC was fine under Hardy.
  I'm sure it used to work under Intrepid, but can;t be sure, nor when
  it stopped working.
