As the final content type requested by the filter specified in the printer's 
PPD (rastertohp), there must be a filter pstoraster (or gstoraster) 
installed. These filters are part of Ghostscript and get only installed if 
Ghostscript has been compiled with the cups device included.
Missing these filters causes the unsupported format message.
(I remember there is a RFE for cupsd to tell missing filters in cases like 
this, but this has been postponed to a future release).
