I verified that after this morning's updates I now have ghostscript 9.05 ~dfsg-0ubuntu3 installed.
I ran your suggested commands to create a local copy of printout1 and printout2, and also downloaded the posted versions. I sent all four files to the printer using lpr with -oraw. In all cases the printer activity light blinked for around a minute, but no printing was done. Each time I issued the lpr command, I got the following warning : WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring- vNebUc/pkcs11: No such file or directory Strangely, after about four minutes, the printer printed the following warning: ERROR: invalidaccess OFFENDING COMMAND: length STACK: I tried printing the original text file from gedit, and got the familiar page header and faint dots and dashes. According to the package manager, I have cups-filters version 1.0.5-1. Is this right? I tried powering the printer down and up in case it had gotten confused from the printout1.ps, and then sent printout2.ps to it again. The status light blinked for 65 seconds. Again, the error message above was printed after about four minutes from the point the file transfer was complete. I have the feeling that the microcode got lost, and kept going until some resource (stack space?) was exhausted. Finally, I opened the text file with abiword and printed it. The file transfer took 20 seconds and printed out correctly. I don't know what internal formats were involved. Let me know if I can try something else.
