If this message is really a sign of the culprit:
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstotiff: ligne10: -dNOPAUSE : commande introuvable
then i think i already know what the problem is. The file is broken,
i.e. they forgot a \ at the end of one line so the next line gets
considered as new line.

If you're really eager, you could try to insert a \
at the end of line 9 of /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstotiff
similar to the one which you can see at end of line 10.
And then try again.


You still didn't tell what document you wanted to print when
you posted the cups error log?
