Cups filter problems?

Question

upgrade to cups has my network printing broken:
logs Leave this:
[Job 292] Running /usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pxlcolor
-sstdout=%stderr -r600 -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=612 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=792 -dMediaPosition=0

/Margins[0 0]>>setpagedevice -f /var/spool/cups/tmp/pstopxl.Ek2303
E [11/Feb/2009:09:44:09 -0800] PID 6810 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopxl) stopped with status 255!
Any Ideas? Googling implys that
The error code doesn't seem to mean anything:
from the bash Page:
255  Exit status out of range
I'll try and take a closer look at pstopxl, but if anyone has ideas, let me know
Thanks
I should add that the cups web interface gives this when I try to print:
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopxl failed"

Answer 1

err... looks like postscript or ghostscript got broken. Anyway, are you using gutenprint for printing? because, if you do so, it's very important to run 'cups-genppdupdate'. When it isn't run, weird errors like that one appears.
p.s. restart cups after running that command.
