It is more likely a configuration problem.

There was a bug fix to the CUPS PostScript filter in 1.3.8 that can
cause problems for some producers of device-specific PostScript files.

Basically, if you use a PostScript printer driver on the client as
well as the the server, the server's default settings will override
the settings embedded by the client's printer driver.  This will *not*
happen when using the Windows PostScript driver, but does happen if
you use a PostScript PPD on a CUPS client to do local filtering, and
then send the already-filtered print job to a non-raw queue on the
server.
