I doubt it's an i386 vs x86_64 issue. Printing pdf documunts from the
command line through cups works fine here on an x86_64 C5 system.
Have you looked at the logs in /var/log/cups/ ?
You could increase the log level to debug in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf if
nothing is obvious in your current logs.
For reference, with the default "info" loglevel, when printing a pdf
file I get this in /var/log/cups/error_log :
I [27/Apr/2011:16:11:20 +0200] [Job 827] Adding start banner page "none".
I [27/Apr/2011:16:11:20 +0200] [Job 827] Adding job file of type

Nicolas,
That was very helpful.
The problem was caused by me, I failed to copy over the ppd files of the
printer to the new system. The error log files did not report errors
related to not finding the /etc/cups/ppd/printer.ppd file for the
printer, but did remind me of the file's need to be present. When I
checked it was not present, but was an easy fix.
Thank you very much!!!!
Greg
