Ah, we had quite a similar error recently. Look at the "Error: /undefined in 12,000"
which Ghostscript did spit out. This is due to a severe bug in the more recent versions
of a2ps. When localizing it, the developers forgot that PostScript is not a localized
language - non-integer numbers use a decimalPOINT, not komma.

Besides fixing a2ps or waiting for the authors to fix it, you may easily work around
this book by letting CUPS run sort of non-localized: in the cups startup script,
set the environment variable LANG to C (LANG=C; export LANG). You will then get all
human readable stuff in english (even in the web interface), but it will work.

Good luck!
