Printing problem

Hello list

I have an odd printing problem that has me beat so far.

Using Mandrake 10.1 printing to an Epson C84 it seems applications that send postscript to the printing system result in raw postscript being output at the printer.  Gimp and Emacs and Evolution print fine.  OpenOffice.org (v 1.1.3 included with Mandrake 10.1 Community) and Firefox give raw postscript.

This machine used to print fine and I don't know what might have changed to cause this.  I tried installing OpenOffice.org1.1.4 from the OpenOffice.org site, but it also prints postscript.

I updated CUPS with a bug-fix update from Mandrake.  No joy.

The same printer connected to a Mandrake 10.0 machine prints fine.

Both machines are set up to use foomatic/gimp-print-ijs

I'm Googling and RTFMing round in circles.  Any suggestions would be very welcome!

Thanks,
IanS
