Print Test Page: prints perfectly both the color wheel and the radial lines 
using CUPS v1.1.x (PostScript Level 3, version 3010 (81501), Product ESP 
Ghostscript, serial # 42 (I undestand as if i had a mixture of kde and

system (startx) and then KDE (startkde) for which I have a script .Xsession

Bad font path element (#145). Possible causes:

Directory missing fonts.dir

Start kde
kbuildingdyscoca running
X Error: Bad Window
KWrited-Listening on Device /dev/pts/1
