FIXED: [cups.general] Errors converting postscript to ascii

[Ryan Suarez]

Ok.  I had to install Aladin ghostscript 8.14 and run ps2pdf first on 
the printfile, then ps2ascii on the generated pdf and it works beautifully.

Anyone know why ps2pdf and ps2ascii on ESP Ghostscript 7.07 does not 
work on these printfiles?

thanks,
Ryan
