I add a printer, for example, a Laserjet 4, with the CUPS-supplied driver 'HP LaserJet Series PCL 4/5, 1.3' and the URI 'ipp://bronze.psti.praxair.com/printers/islj4000'. When I print the test page, I get the following error: "Unsupported format 'application/postscript'!"

Hello Michael,

  I thought my printer was postscript compatible.  My applications generate pdf files for output.  I use the pdftops utility to convert the output to postscript, then send those files via lp (without CUPS)  Are you saying that my HP Laserjet 4 printer is non-Postscript?  Sory if this is so innane - this is all new to me.
