Suddelny, printing with cups does not work.
I get
Code:
lp: unable to print file: client-error-bad-request

when I try to print a file from Adobe Acrobat. It has worked before.
If I use pdf2ps and then print the postscript file the printer starts blinking, but nothing happens.

Any ideas on how to crack this problem?

The printer is found by lsusb.

I suspect that it might be a problem with the size of the file that is to be printed. I have 16 MB of memory, and one of the 300 kb pdf files are converted to 14 MB postscript. This might be a problem.

I noticed that if I remove the postscript options
Code:
optimize for speed
download asian fonts
save printer memory

from the print dialog in acrobat reader it prints ok.
It seems to work now.

I'd guess it's the file too. However, there was a similar thread here where they suggest unmerging and re-emerging foomatic, gimp-print and ghostscript.

EDIT: Oh I see you got it working. I've had problems with Acrobat too, I always print PDFs from the CLI now.

I'd love to print from the CLI, but I like the scaling feature in acrobat. Some "unreadable" files needs magnification. You haven't got a solution for that?
