CUPS, ghostscript, etc. are programs that are not maintained by the
Gnome project, so this isn't the right place to ask for help with
those.  I'm definitely no expert, but it sounds like one of those
programs is the problem.  Unless you have some kind of evidence that
suggests the error is in a Gnome program or library, I'd suggest you
try to contact the authors for one of those modules or perhaps file a
bug in mandrake bugzilla.

Cheers,
