The Mac is recognising the CUPS server and sending the print jobs, they are appearing in the jobs log on the server, but they're all being aborted. When I try to reprint (via the web interface), I'm getting a client-error-not-possible error. Looked at the FAQ page for this error, but it wasn't very helpful.

I'm happy to provide any more info if required. Sorry for the long post - just wanted to detail my problem properly

Post (an URL to) the complete error log containing the history of such a job. It seems that somehoe
your ESP gs is involved and crashes. The detailed error message from gs will be helpful. and, if
posiible, post (an URL to) a sample file that produces the error.
