Which distro?

Which version of CUPS?

Which pdftops filter used in
CUPS (use the "file /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops" command to find out
if it is just a wrapper script or a binary) ?

I'm asking because some distros don't ship the original CUPS pdftops
filter, but have cobbled together their own wrapper script around
the XPDF utility with the same name, which regularly causes problems
similar to yours, due to its own bugs and misconfiguration....
