[opensuse] Problem with printing Postscript files
I have a Brother DCP-115C and with the MFC210 driver from Brother I have been able to print all types of files from all applications under openSUSE. But now with openSUSE 11.1 (using the same Brother driver I have used since I think openSUSE 9.3 or earlier), Postscript files are not graphically interpreted: the printer outputs the compiled Postscript code. If I convert the Postscript file to PDF, it prints out fine. (And if I print to file, I can view the .ps-file with okular or kghostview and it appears correctly graphically interpreted.) I have not yet found anything relevant from searching the web. Does anyone here have an idea what the problem could be or a suggestion how to try to diagnose it?

Have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your_Own_Filters_to_Print_with_CUPS to get an idea how the CUPS filtering works and for the basics see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell Then inspect /var/log/cups/error_log which filters are run for your PostScript files, see the section "If problems are encountered:" in http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell Look for "Request file type" and "File of type" and "Started filter" lines in the error_log and possible subsequent (error)-messages. Because PostScript files are graphically interpreted on my openSUSE 11.1 workstation I assume that something goes wrong with your driver from Brother because I do not use such a driver.
