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: http://www.astart.com/lprng/LPRng-HOWTO.html 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.
