<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">Can you print to a file, look at the file to see what it is, and then print it. Alternatively try to configure a generic ps printer as ps ver 2, and see if that gives different results.</p>

I have done that, same results.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>
There is a bug reported against Firefox 3 which generated Postscript 3 <br>
directly and caused this issues too.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Apparently CUPS has a filter that converts PostScript 3 to 2 when the printer <br>
does not support 3. I guessed the first step was to let CUPS know that the <br>
printer only supported level 2, so I modified the ppd file as you say.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>
As the results are the same now I am wondering if the level 3 to level 2 CUPS <br>
filter is the culprit of the "yellow glow".<br>
