I found the reason.
Firefox produces a Postscript Level 3. The Cups-Server (SuSE8.1) was so old, that not even the included Ghostscript knew anything about Level 3.
After moving the Cups Server to a OpenSuSE 10.0 the printing just went fine.
Thanks to all, who commented on my question.
Bye, Torsten...
