This is very obviously a CUPS configuration (wrong driver for the printer?, b0rken Ghostscript installation? error in the /etc/cups/mime.types setup?) problem. 

There is nothing that KJobViewer could do about this.

To find a working and correct driver for Epson Stylus Color 860, please visit http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi, or more specifically:
