The LPRnG FAQ is quite extensive... I find it very easy to follow and
it contains clear explanations for many common, and not-so-common
problems:

It sounds like your printer does not support postscript.  You can find
this information usually from the Vendor's website under its technical
features.

Magicfilter, which is a debian package, contains filters for many
known printers that will convert the file type or cancel the job if
your printer is incapable of printing it.
