This is a Ghostscript error. Try whether or not the above renderer command works in a pipe on the command line with a clean PostScript input as follows:

On my SUSE LINUX 9.0 system this command line works well. I didn't test it on a SuSE Linux 8.2 system.
It does not work on my 8.2 with default SuSE patches (meaning: from you): cer@nimrodel:~> cat /tmp/gs.out Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in .putdeviceprops My printer is a canon 4000, and it uses the bjc600 device, I think.
For me it looks as if your Ghostscript stuff is broken.
Maybe not. My printer works correctly, but that pipe fails. The only problem I have is that photographs print horrible (since 8.1 installed cups), I have to go to windows to print them; this is a different problem altogether. (Horrible means very distorted colour, contrast, and density; If you know somebody to whom this can be reported, I'll do so, with scanned pages for verfication). -- Cheers, Carlos
