I also have been experiencing this problem with Redhat 7.1, MacOS 9.0.4,
and netatalk 1.5pre6. The error on the Mac side is:
"[file] could not be printed on printer [printer] because of a Postscript
error."
The errors on the linux side (in messages) are exactly those Roger found.
I, too, would appreciate any suggestions for resolving this.
Thanks,
Chris
