Hello Klaus,

thanks for the information. The problem is that I have ubuntu feisty on 
my client and everything is up to date. Perhaps I should have a look on 
the locals, because I see a lot of messages of CUPS which tell me that 
something not is correct. I never thought that this could be the reason 
for my print problem. Here some output:
D [14/May/2007:11:13:16 +0200] [Job 54] backendRunLoop(print_fd=0, 
device_fd=4, use_bc=0)
D [14/May/2007:11:13:16 +0200] [Job 54] perl: warning: Setting locale 
failed.
D [14/May/2007:11:13:16 +0200] [Job 54] perl: warning: Please check that 
your locale settings:
D [14/May/2007:11:13:16 +0200] [Job 54] LANGUAGE = (unset),
D [14/May/2007:11:13:16 +0200] [Job 54] LC_ALL = (unset),
D [14/May/2007:11:13:16 +0200] [Job 54] LANG = "es_ES"
D [14/May/2007:11:13:16 +0200] [Job 54] are supported and installed on 
your system.
D [14/May/2007:11:13:16 +0200] [Job 54] perl: warning: Falling back to 
the standard locale ("C").

I'm unshure how to do that to permanently set the systems settings 
because I have a per user Konfiguration which is or german or spain 
language. Set by gnome from every user.

Could you give me a hint? Thanks in advance.

Klaus
