There is PostScript interpreter involved in this. Parts of the 
PostScript code it is interpreting is meant for a different hardware, 
i.e. a specific PostScript printer.

I think the error can come from some customization in PostScript 
printing. There is a group (PS Print?) where you can switch on or off 
manual feeding of your printer. Could you toggle that setting?

Can you try *not* to spool for printing, i.e. passing all output to the 
operating system, but redirect the PS output into a buffer? I think the 
variable to be set to non-nil is pr-spool-p. Once you get the PS code 
in that buffer, you can save it to a file and pass it to gs to see what 
it finds.

What puzzles me is the setpageadvice error. I think this is only useful 
in a hard RIP, i.e. inside the PostScript printer. Can it be that you 
set up CUPS particles to do something with the stuff to be printed?
