[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

Well, the PPD looks OK, and the source file to be printed is a PDF file.
So I suspect your problem is due to some misconfiguration of the pdftops
filter.
Please do the following to supply more diagnostic information:
(1) set up a "fake" printer using the file device (make sure the
cupsd.conf contains the directive FileDevice Yes) using a device_uri like
file:///absolute_path_to_a_sitable_directory
but otherwise set up identical to the real printer (same PPD, same
defaults). Do not forget to restart cupsd.
(2) switch on debug logging (cupsctl --debug-logging).
(3) print the PDF you posted to the fake printer.
(4) execute cupsctl --no-debug-logging to switch back to normal logging
(5) post the portion of the error_log containing the text job messages
*and* the result file.
