Hello Detlef,

thanks for your reply!

lpr is /usr/bin/lpr

/etc/printcap on my server says:
i560|i560:rm=goza:rp=i560:

There is no /etc/printcap on my local machine, since there is no printer
connected to my local machine, and no cupsd running (client only). 

I just tried to create a /etc/printcap file with the same content on my
local machine, but I still can't print.

All my AFM files are in /usr/share/fonts/Type1, so this can't be the
problem.

I have gnu-gs-fonts-other and gnu-gs-fonts-std installed.

Do I have to install the fonts on my print server too?
