Well, then I'm out of ideas now. perhaps you could do a test performing the
following steps:
(1)	stop the queue in question and print a sample.
(2) 	save the spool file (the dxxxxx-yyy) as, say, test.ps
(3)	run
	cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-postscript -p /etc/cups/ppd/yourprinter.ppd test.ps >   out.ps
(4)	post (an url to) both files.

(yourprinter should be replaced by the real queue name).

Note: I do not know if the cupsfilter utility gets installed by default
on your Ubuntu distro; you may need to install the development package
or download the sources, compile them and use only the cupsfilter utility
from what you compiled.
