I have upgraded to jessie now. I am current with updates in jessie. I
tried ps-print again in emacs and it works now. There is quite a bit
newer version of cups in jessie. Something has fixed it. I don't know
if it was a cups or emacs update or something else. I can't remember
exactly when it failed last but I am pretty sure it wasn't that long
ago.
The two printers that were failing were:
Infoprint 1870 MFP
IBM_4312
