AH! The conversion takes place in the print server, not in CUPS? Is that right? That doesn't seem right: where would it take place if this were not a network printer, but were connected directly to the computer, with no print server?
There are several conversions. First, whatever you want to print is converted to postscript. This can be done directly by the application, or by a component of cups. Then cups, if the printer understands postscript, sends it to the printer. If not, cups can convert to the language the printer understands. If it is a remote printer, cups sends the postscript print data to the remote server, who is responsible to send to the printer, converting the postscript to the printer language if necessary - and this last step is failing, as I understand it. There maybe a method to do the conversion locally, but that I don't know. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
