The error messages in one of your earlier mails show that you are using
the Lenny/Sid version of ghostscript (8.62), but your PPD file seems to
be outdated (it is from HPLIP 2.7.10; the current version of hpijs-ppds
is 2.8.4 in Lenny and 2.8.5 in Sid). Maybe upgrading and/or updating to
the newest PPD in the CUPS setup will fix the problem. (Sometimes it can
necessary to remove the printer and add it again with the newest
driver.)

I would rather not receive any sensitive information. Can you generate a
new file from the same form with bogus data filled in?
