Summary: Problem with rendering postscript from WordPerfect in Ghostscript 8.15

I noticed that I was unable to print from Linux WordPerfect 8 under Mandriva 2006.0.
I use a color postscript printer driver in WP, and call cups, which calls ghostscript,
which then renders to my HP PSC2210 printer.  Nothing has changed in WP8 for many
years and I have successfully used the same setup for printing in Mandrake 8 through
10.2.  2006.0 is the first time I have had problems.  The version is: 
ghostscript-8.15-21mdk.  If I print the output to a file, and trying printing that
from the command line, the results are the same.  I have attached the "wptest.ps" file
for testing.

Cups reports the following:
-----------
I [06/Nov/2005:20:06:57 -0500] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip (PID
32647) for job 3.
I [06/Nov/2005:20:06:57 -0500] Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp (PID 32648) f
or job 3.
E [06/Nov/2005:20:07:00 -0500] PID 32647 stopped with status 3!
-----------

I turned on debugging and have attached that as a file called "cupserrors.txt".

To eliminate CUPS, I trying using ps2pdf, since that will also use ghostscript but not
CUPS.  The results are:

-----------

I have verified the problem is not my particular machine by replicating the exact same
results on another Mandriva 2006.0 machine.  I also verified that wptest.ps has no
trouble printing, displaying (gv), or converting (ps2pdf) on a Mandriva 10.2 machine, 
ghostscript-8.15-16mdk.  Note that both are using 8.15, just a different Mandriva build.

I also tested generating postscript in WordPerfect 8 using its generic "Passthru
Postscript" driver, and that prints/renders file.  I don't use that driver, because it
is not color.  Long ago, I took a WP "HP color laserjet 5 PS" and used ptr to remove
the PJL preambles and created "hp2200ps.prs", which has always worked great with
modern HP inkjet printers + CUPS.  If you select the stock, WP, "HP color laserjet 5 PS"
in WP, save the PS to a file, and try to print it, you get the exact same error as with
my modified WP driver.
