that error message is a rather general one, and it does help to take
it literally.

Probably the printer driver is trying to perform an unsupported option
on the server and doesn't like the result. The most likely operation
is an ioctl or a new IPC that we don't support yet. To fix it you
would need to get a tcpdump sniff then look at what operations happen
just before the error message. Looking at those may give a clue.
