Hi Ghee,

following your instructions I discovered that, in response to a print launched 
in gedit and scheduled as job <printer_name>-<id>, two files named  <id>-<num> 
and F<id>-<num> are created in /var/spool/lp/temp, and both are  recognized as 
postscript files by the system. 
E.g, job hp2300-20 results in the two files named  20-1 and F20-1, and both 
appear to be postscript files.  Nevertheless,  <id>-<num> is rendered as 
postscript (by Evince), whereas F<id>-<num> results  is the ASCII file  of the 
postscript code.

Instead, when a print job for a PDF/PS file is launched in Evince, the system 
creates just one file, named  <id>-<num>, which is correctly printed.
I suspect that, in the first case, the system sends to the printer the (wrong) 
file F<id>-<num>, instead of the correct one named <id>-<num>.
