Thanks for GS's help. The font mapping issue is fixed in GS9.00.
When I use gs command ( in cups error_log ) to do conversion, it still fails. Even though gs generates a ps file without any error, the converted ps file cannot be viewed or printed ( just strange character ).
GS commnad
---------------------------------------------------------
/usr/local/bin/gs -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -I/usr/local/share/ghostscript/9.00/Resource/Init -dDEBUG -dBATCH -dNOMEDIAATTRS -sDEVICE=cups -sOUTPUTFILE=sam.ps -c -f sam.pdf
Then I change to use "-sDEVICE=pswrite" option ( not "-sDEVICE=cups"), everything is fine (can be viewed and printed). It seems that the problem come back to CUPS-1.4.6. Do you have any idea to further debug this issue?
After last recompilation and installation of CUPS, the filters are updated as below.
