This problem has been resolved by Helge at cups.org. The solution is at
http://cups.org/newsgroups.php?s19897+gcups.general+v19906+T1
and the whole thread ("PostScript problem with Xerox Phaser 6280DN") is at
http://cups.org/newsgroups.php?gcups.general+T1
It turns out that acroread and openoffice, given Xerox's Linux driver for the
Phaser 6280DN, generate non-conforming PostScript that gives errors at the
printer or when viewed by gv. Helge's solution involves adding just one line
to the PPD file (/etc/cups/ppd/Phaser_6280DN.ppd in my case) and a file named
oopstops. In Etch, oopstops is already present as
/usr/lib/cups/filter/oopstops (part of the cups 1.3.8-1+lenny7 package).
Just adding the one line to the PPD file (and restarting cups) succeeded in
my case. Files printed from acroread now print correctly.
