I would try to add a new printer instance (keep the one you already
have, just add a new one) for the printer but using a PCL6 file instead
("pxlmono") and try to print the same page with it, just to compare both
outputs.

This sounds like a reasonable approach.  I'll give it a look.

Just to put out as much info as I can.  This problem also occurs with
Fedex shipping labels which do not involve explicit pop-up windows
(but a lot of javascript).

I think the pop-up window is not relevant for the problem but the
generated image/code by the courier web services. They can contain some
data your printer driver cannot handle and thus outputs the error.

Also it is worth remembering there is *not* a problem printing to the
same printer from either squeeze on AMD or wheezy on i386 machines, I
beleive.

You mean the 32-bits wheezy install can print that pages without
troubleshoot, using the same PPD file? It could be then a problem with
the 64-bits CUPS packages... anyway, I would try first with "pxlmono"
and see how it goes.

I don't know that it's a problem with the 64-bit Wheezy. I have the same model printer and have been puzzling for a while why sometimes web pages print that error message, and others work fine on my 32-bit Wheezy setup.

However I hadn't got any further into my investigation, as I printed them successfully on my other printer (Epson inkjet) instead.

Now I will take more notice of which pages fail and examine the html and the generated postscript files.
