Your system thinks the printer is post-script capable.
Is it? It doesn't appear to be.
If not, your problem is probably that you are running your print
thru the wrong filters.

What print system have you actually installed? And how did
you configure the printer?  Very Generic does not quite cut it.
You need exact model, and you also need to tell us exactly which
printing system your box is running - Lpd or Cups or what?
