OK. I thought I had traced the error back to the locale setting because it's the first error that appears in the log and I don't know what else I configured differently from my previous system where I had no trouble printing. (previous was suse. now gentoo)

the main error is this:

D [01/Mar/2005:16:06:14 +0100] [Job 9] Process dying with "Possible error on renderer command line or PostScript error. Check options.", exit stat: 3

some googling suggests this has something to do with -dPARANOIDSAFER but I have no idea what this really means, nor where to change it if it really is causing the problem.

any help is much appreciated. I don't have much experience fiddling with cups. up to now it always just worked somehow :)
