I'll add that I set up a queue with
lpadmin - p 1750 -v file:/dev/null -E -m drv:///splix-samsung.drv/ml1750.ppd
and printed the test page from the CUPS web interface. All filters
completed without any errors, as they do when cupsfilter was used with
any file I threw at it. Not much use in my testing the Ghostscript
command in that situation. The OP's experiences might be different, of
course.
