[cups.general] cannot invoke a interface script

yes I activated the cups-lpd daemon! It works fine with every "defined"
fileformats as .pdf .txt etc. Also from remote.
But unfortunately not with the files from the As400

I added this also before to the xined.d/cups-lpd

           service printer
           {
               socket_type = stream
               protocol = tcp
               wait = no
               user = lp
            group = sys
            passenv =
               server = /path/to/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
            server_args = -o document-format=application/octet-stream
           }

except the last line.
Now I added the last line: server_args = -o
document-format=application/octet-stream
and restarted the xinet service

This last line should, according the man page, "force the auto-detection of the
print file type."
But also this doesn't work.

When I look at the error log file at /var/log/cups/error_log then a "normal file
which works gives the following output:

I [01/Aug/2005:14:31:53 +0200] Adding start banner page "none" to job 32.
I [01/Aug/2005:14:31:53 +0200] Adding end banner page "none" to job 32.
I [01/Aug/2005:14:31:53 +0200] Job 32 queued on 'lp_file' by 'remroot'.
I [01/Aug/2005:14:31:53 +0200] Started filter /etc/cups/interfaces/lp_file (PID
26315) for job 32.

....yes: interface loaded...file is saved on my hard disk :)


Otherwise when I try to "print" a As400 file:

I [01/Aug/2005:14:32:54 +0200] Adding start banner page "none" to job 33.
I [01/Aug/2005:14:32:54 +0200] Adding end banner page "none" to job 33.
I [01/Aug/2005:14:32:54 +0200] Job 33 queued on 'lp_file' by 'remroot'.
I [01/Aug/2005:14:33:50 +0200] Started "/usr/lib/cups/cgi-bin/printers.cgi"
(pid=26582)

First the file is queued and than starts this printers.cgi but not the interface
:(

This remains the same whether if I enable or disable the server_args = -o
document-format=application/octet-stream in the xined.d/cups-lpd

What I'm doing wrong here?
