It seems that the file format of the file to be printed cannot be recognized or converted by the CUPS printing system.

You could post a portion of /var/log/cups/error_log where this print job occurs.

i fixed my printer.
i had the wrong ghostscript installed. i had ghostscript-gnu or something like that, now i installed ghostscript-esp, re-installed cups, did a revdep-rebuild, re-did my config file and re-installed turboprint. then i had to log in to the config page at http://127.0.0.1:631 and go thru the 'modify printer' wizard. once i'd done that, my printer started spitting out the jobs in the queue.
this has been very frustrating and time-consuming.
i hope this post helps someone else.
