I had another look at this today, and after poking around a bit, I
discovered that ghostscript segfaults if I start it from the command
line with those parameters (substituting a file for the STDIN input).
So, it looks like the problem is that ghostscript dies while trying to
process my printing. (GS seems to die if I start it from inside
foomatic-gswrapper as well.)

I have absolutely no idea what to do about this, though. Any suggestions
would be great, as printing is completely non-functional at the moment.

(To recap: I have an Epson Stylus Color 760 connected via USB to a 12"
G4 powerbook. Printer Config recognises it and sets CUPS up. CUPS runs,
and reports that the jobs have completed successfully. The above message
is the only thing in error.log that looks like an error, even if the
level is set to debug2. The printer is plugged in, switched on, and
works with the same computer from OS X. The printer appears, correctly
described, in /proc/bus/usb/devices, and in /var/log/messages.)
