gimp-print installs a lot of ppds for lots of printers
(except of course the s500)

cups the job shows up as aborted

that works in the case of png jpg and some other formats
if i print using kvies the job shows up in cups as aborted
also i cannot print postscript files and fdf files and so on not even normal 
text
i think it has something to do with the fact that i can't print ps files am I 
missing some program ?

not even on the commandline :-(
i don't know excactly how the printing system works but I think the data is 
converted to ps by kde and that might be the reason it won't print ??
