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...
