To capture a print file, do the following:
(1) shut down CUPS
(2) In /etc/cups/printers.conf, comment out the DeviceURI line for the
respective printer
    and insert 
    DeviceURI file:/var/tmp/test.ps
    instead (choose any file name you like)
(3) Make sure you enabled the file backend in your cupsd.conf
(4) restart CUPS and print the file in question
(5) undo the changes from above.
