Either the initial PostScript job is buggy or the pstopdf filter cannot cope
with this job.
Please do the following:
(1) execute the command
cupsctl --debug-logging
(2) print a file that fails with the mentioned message
(3) execute
cupsctl --no-debug-logging
(4) post (an URL to) the /var/log/cups/error_log (at least the part 
containing the debug messages (those beginning with D or d in the first 
column).
(5) home anybody (perhaps me) will have an idea.
