I havent been able to print for a couple weeks. If I print through kde, I get error messages like

Code:
A print error occurred. Error message received from system:

cupsdoprint -P 'admin_hp' -J 'Mapping 3D X-ray Fluorescence Datasets to Elemental Distributions using Principal Component Analysis and Fitting' -H '/var/run/cups/cups.sock:631' -U 'darren' -o ' copies=1 orientation-requested=3' '/tmp/kde-darren/konqueror2PQjkb.ps' : execution failed with message:
client-error-document-format-not-supported


I have loglevel = debug in my cups.conf, here is the tail end of my cups errorlog:

Code:

if I try printing something like a png with lpr, I get an "lpr: unsupported format" error.

I'm running ~amd64, with gcc-4.2.0, cups-1.2.12, and ghostscript-gpl-8.57. I've been using ghostscript-gpl instead of ghostscript-esp for 18 months now, but my printing problems started just recently. Can anyone offer a suggestion, aside from using ghostscript-esp, or downgrading cups? I've tried both, neither helped.

Thanks

I "solved" this:

cp /etc/cups/printers.conf ~/
emerge -C cups ghostscript-gpl
rm -rf /etc/cups
emerge cups ghostscript-gpl
cp ~/printers.conf /etc/cups/
