Mmm, that printer supports PCL6 and BR-Script3, a PostScript
implementantion from Brother. I'm not sure how PS compliant is that
language...

Ah, that's fine.

I also use UPS web services and never had any problem when printing
their labels. I use a true PS printer which makes me think there can be
a issue with your PPD file and the UPS on-the-fly generated code.
I would try to add a new printer instance (keep the one you already
have, just add a new one) for the printer but using a PCL6 file instead
("pxlmono") and try to print the same page with it, just to compare both
outputs.
