You need either the pstoraster or pdftoraster filter, or
my gstroaster filter or the gstoraster filter that comes with Ghostscript 
9.02 and higher.

Note that the xxxtoraster filters all need Ghostscript's cups device 
compiled in and either come with ghostscript of can be downloaded via the 
links at www.cups.org.
