New Try Using CUPS's web interface instead
Point your browser to http://localhost:631/, which should present you with CUPS administration interface. I'd just done that on my dad's Powerbook. I haven't tried adding a new printer, but the printer (HP LaserJet 1200 connected to Airport base station) I had added earlier using Print Center is there.

Maybe this would work around the problem you're having.

Edit: Oh! It also looks like the PostScript was not rasterized. You should check the content of the HL-1440 PPD and see which filter is it using. Specifically, look for the lines:

\n*cupsFilter:\t"application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 foomatic-rip"\n*%pprRIP:        foomatic-rip other\n


Also, see if foomatic-rip is found in cupsd's PATH.

Edit 2: [link|http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/LinuxKongress2002/Tutorial/VII.cups-help/VII.cups-help.html#tell|Here] is a troubleshooting guide which should help track down the problem.

New Thanx!
I'd tried the interface over the weekend. I'll check out the PPD and the trouble shooting guide tonight.

Particularly fine on the conical-bore cornet.
