The PostScript file is OK and fairly DSC compliant, and it prints OK on
a 
PostScript printer.

It seems to me that your Kyocera printer does not have the PostScript
interpreter
installed.

PS:
BTW, I have a PostScript to PRESCRIBE (Version 1) converter written in
PostScript
which could easily be incorprated into CUPS. You know, PRESCRIBE is the
default
high end printer language by KYOCERA.
