I have bought a second-hand Okidata printer, model MC560. It is a network, Postscript printer, and seems to work fine. I have downloaded a small printer definition file (PDD) from here, I have connected the printer to my network, and can correctly print the test sheet etc.

But printing files only sometimes work. Especially I have had problems with printing PDF-files from the Evince document viewer. Often the printer just produces lots of blank or nearly blank pages. Printing PDF-files from Adobe Acrobat seems more reliable. Also printing from within OpenOffice often results in lots of blank pages.

As I read the documentation, the printer is a Postscript printer and should work almost out-of-the-box, but something seems to be wrong here. I will be very happy to receive good advice, suggestions etc.
