Gibberish when I print using the command-line that you
gave, and when printing from KPDF.  Same result either
way.

Yes, the DSc38u printer config page says it supports
RPCS (2b.6.8), PCL 5c (1.01), and Postscript 3 (1.02)
..

I don't know how to check the version of my pdf docs,
although examining in a text editor, at the top it
says %PDF-1.3 .  

My OS is Debian Etch, which I do a dist-upgrade on
monthly.

The printer config page says nothing about supporting
pdf direct print.

This is what I suspicion, although I don't know what
to do about it.
