Reassigning to cups-filters because I do not see this as a scheduler
problem. The README for that package is informative. Please see the
"Selection of the renderer: Ghostscript or Poppler" and "POSTSCRIPT
PRINTING DEBUG MODE" sections in particular.

Note that a file in /tmp/printout should be capable of being viewed by a
PostScript viewer such as gv.

Regards,

Brian.
