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'!"

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.

The driver you are using generates PCL.  If you do actually have the
PostScript version, use the manufacturer's PPD file from Windows with
CUPS instead.
