Verify that the CUPS texttops filter is being used to print text files - with debug logging enabled (cupsctl --debug-logging), look at the /var/log/cups/error_log file to see which filters are run for your job.

My guess is that a new text filter is being used in Ubuntu 9.10 that does not support the standard CUPS text options, causing the behavior you are seeing.
