You can actually see the key part in the trace quoted above:  the JCLEnd assumes the printer is not in PostScript mode when it's sent.

   *% === Job Control Language ==

   *JCLBegin: "<1B>%-12345X at PJL JOB<0A>"
   *JCLToPSInterpreter: "@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = Postscript <0A>"
   *JCLEnd: "@PJL EOJ<0A>@PJL LPORTROTATE<0A><1B>%-12345X"

I tried adding <04><1B>%-12345X to end the PostScript job and return to PJL, but am not sure that's the correct action --- I do not know if it's supposed to be up to CUPS, the banner page, or the PPD (or something else?) to begin or end the PS job.
