I don't think that's it, because:

I can take that file, scp it to hermes, and lpr it from that computer.
It works fine, then.  It's just very inconvenient.

I can also print this same file on lolly's local printer, a Canon BJ200ex
B/W printer.  Obviously, that, too, would require processing by
ghostscript.
