Looks good.

Do other applications show the same results?

This is weird... The .bashrc should only be parsed if the
shell is interactive (-> man bash), but here we use the
shell only for a script. We don't actually need the
contents of .bashrc, but that error shouldn't happen
anyway.

If this is your host name, you are probably using some kind
of lpd that uses the host name as a class specification
(it's probably *not* LPRng). Nothing to be worried about
right now.

Maybe it helps if you update ghostscript. Unfortunately
we don't get the exact error description here, but that
behaviour may have been fixed in the meantime.

We had that error reported a couple of times, and
I think it's caused by "psset" (which is a script).

Since psset is used in a pipe with ghostscript, it's
merely failing since gs exited, leaving the "read"
end of the pipe orphaned, thus breaking the pipe.
