In an earlier mail you said you created a print queue with

   lpadmin -p test -E -v file:/tmp/printout -P /etc/cups/ppd/HP-LaserJet-1200.ppd

and obtained a printout which satisfactorily represented the file you
wanted to print. Now send this file directly to the printer, avoiding
any backend:

   cat file > /dev/usb/lp0

You will have to check /dev/usb/lp0 is the correct place to send
printout. As a control you could use 'Print to File' from Iceweasel to
get another PostScript file to use cat with. The PostScript in such a
file is generated using Cairo.

If the first test is satisfactory do

   lpstat -v

to obtain the USB device for the LaserJet and change the previous queue
with

   lpadmin -p test -E -v <USB_device> -P /etc/cups/ppd/HP-LaserJet-1200.ppd

Then

   p -d test -o raw printout

This tests the backend.
