Probably, yes. Because otherwise, as far as I understand, CUPS may use the new PDF workflow. So: - set mime.convs options as described - restart CUPS if necessary (if I understand correctly, it calculates the print routing only during it's startup, but I may be wrong) - easiest way is: have gtklp installed, please print the file with this, make sure you have "duplex" printing OFF. Please note, that the file you have is the file as found in the print queue, so it's meant to be printed with lp or gtklp. If you reopen it with Acrobat or Evince, I'm not sure what it will get you - probably just a dull print. Another new fact is, that the printer in question is a NRG MPC4500; we're only using the 4510 PS file, hence my confusion. Please note, that because of the duplex/non duplex sensitivity, I'm still not 100% confident that of the reproducability of this problem, i.e. there may still be parts missing. Ulrich Wehner from Ricoh USA was able to crash some older printer, but not his regular MPC3500. So I hope that the print-to-file option will get us a Postscript file that will crash the printer directly.
