I'm not connected to any printer at the moment, but /var/log/cups/error_log keeps spawning
    Print-Job client-error-document-format-not-supported: Unsupported format 'application/pdf' !
So I'm assuming it's not working. I'll try tomorrow at work again just to be sure.

ghostscript-cups was installed (8.70.dfsg.1-0ubuntu2).
updated, no improvement. For the logs: am at cups 1.4.1-4 and ghostscript-cups 8.70.dfsg.1-0ubuntu2.
reinstalling ghostscript-cups & restarting cups.. no improvement
reinstalling cups.. no improvement

Maybe relevant tidbits:
* using a PPD file from Xerox's website
* running awesome instead of gnome (but with gnome-settings-daemon)
* "echo foo | lpr" gives the same error for text/plain:

D [06/Oct/2009:21:16:10 +0200] [Job 125] Request file type is text/plain.
