I wrote it in another posting today.
It's a Fujitsu PrintPartner 10 (without "V"), I'm using CUPS 1.1.20 on 
FreeBSD 4.9p6. The problem shows with and without the Postscript 
addon-module. I'm printing via parallel port.
Though I'd actually prefer not to use the PS-module, as it is buggy and 
doesn't allow to print PDFs...
