Comment 10 for bug 513690

The foo-out.ps is not broken, once the size is not unreasonable. It is double the size of foo-in.ps and foo-in.ps is not PostScript, it is PDF and PDF is usually smaller than PostScript. Second, the fact that "gs" does not display it is normal, also other PostScript files produced by Poppler have this problem. You can display the file with "gv" or evince though, without any size and speed problems. My HP LaserJet P3005 prints the unfiltered foo-out.ps without problems and without delays.

Can you try to send foo-out.ps to your printer, unfiltered:

nc -w1 <IP address of the printer> 9100 < foo-out.ps

OR

lp -oraw foo-out.ps

Can you also check whether you have a ~/.cups/lpoptions file or an /etc/cups/lpoptions file and if you have such files post them here. Move these files to another directory and try to print again. Does this solve the problem.
