Dave,

If you're printing PDFs with CUPS as your backend, you should also try
using simply "lp file.pdf" -- CUPS has all the brains to autodetect
and autoconvert PDF files already.  Doing things this way may be able
to translate the PDF directly to the format for your printer without
an intermediate step of converting to PS.
