I tried:

 - use system-config-printer to create a new one; I used AppSocket/JetDirect localhost:9100, but it shouldn't really matter
 - select Samsung ML-1610; either driver is fine, the problem happens with both splix and foomatic
 - Open any PDF document with evince, I used

     evince /usr/share/doc/shared-mime-info/shared-mime-info-spec.pdf

   and printed page 17 into a PS file (/tmp/out.ps).

 - cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-pdf -p /etc/cups/ppd/test.ppd /tmp/out.ps > /tmp/out.pdf

/tmp/out.pdf doesn't have garbage. The conversion produced error messages

ERROR: No %%BoundingBox: comment in header!
ERROR: No %%Pages: comment in header!

These error messages are fixed if I use the new pstopdf filter.

So this doesn't reproduce the garbage :(
