Is it CUPS or is it the printer? That is the question.
A way to explore this is:
1. Download cups-filters from unstable.
2. Open the package and go to the README and follow the instructions
which begin with the words 'To extract the Postscript output for'.
The PPD file is the one you have for your printer in /etc/cups/ppd.
3. Install the gv package. As root, 'chmod 777 /tmp/printout'. As a
user 'gv /tmp/printout'.
Post the output of 'ls -l /tmp/printout, and say what happens when you
attempt to open the file with gv.

There doesn't appear to be anything of great consequence in it.

Ghostscript will probably repair the xref table but use another PDF for
your tests if you feel uneasy about it.
