Emilio,

if you can display the PostScript files with gv or GsView, it is almost certainly a bug
in the pstoufr2cpca filter. 

I’d suggest to get the latest available package containing this filter from your Linux
distributor or from Canon (you’ll need to specify what Linux you are using, I think).

If nothing goes, I happen to have a source tarball from about Dec 2015 to Apr 2016.
But there is a lot of dependencies you need to obey when compiling that stuff,
which means the need to install a lot of development packages in advance.
