You can encounter this error when trying to access a feature that isn’t supported by your printer or imagesetter. This can happen if you don’t use the correct PPD-driver or if there are bugs in the driver. Some printers need special PostScript drivers (like custom versions of the LaserWriter driver on a Mac).

Solutions
Use the correct PPD for your device or, if it is not provided, try one of the generic PPDs
Try another printer driver or use the one that came with your printer or RIP.
