I use cups and a HPDesket660C - no XPP
when I select "printer management" on the panel, (and adding my hp660c) 
then select hp660c and menu : printer/properties, my hp is *NOT* a PS
printer but inline/online ? (my menu is in french) printer.
So, when i drag a file from xffm to the printer icon on panel, it opens
XfPrinter dialog where i can choose print directly on printer or print
in a PS file. When i click on the icon printer on xffm's menu -> same
dialog and print good.
If I want to declare my printer PS, I obtain your message 'Unable to
sent job to printer'
