The -Tps is its default, and a test run to files to compare them yields only 
the creation date diff here.

One thing I noted in both generated files here is diff from what you sent me, 
in addition to the spelling of "Hallo", at the bottom it uses pure numerical 
ascii character representation.

No idea what causes it, and I believe its legal postscript, but it sure is 
odd.

And it prints a single blank sheet on my HL-2140 using the HL2070 driver as 
Brother suggests.

Is there, someplace in the *nix world, a ps file checker?
