(Get the code!)
I could reproduce the bug creating a print queue pointing to a file (Unfortunately, I do not get test printers from Xerox). There I tried my suggestion of comments 5 and 6. And it works. With my Ghostscript-based pdftoraster filter the Xerox Phaser 6100 with the Ubuntu-provided package of SpliX 2.0.0rc2 works!
Problem was that this printer requires a certain color mode (via the PPD file) which the Poppler-based pdftoraster (the one which comes as part of Ubuntu's CUPS package) does not support (see the messages in the error_log).
This means that the Poppler-based pdftoraster is not feature-complete and therefore unsuitable for daily use.
The easiest fix is to replace it by the Ghostscript-based pdftoraster.
As the Ghostscript-based pdftoraster is upstream a part of Ghostscript, this has to be fixed in both the CUPS and Ghostscript packages in Jaunty. Therefore these tasks are added now.
As SRU for Intrepid the easiest way would be to simply put the Ghostscript-based filter into the CUPS package, replacing the Poppler-based one.
