I think you are seeing a bug of some sort in the paps package, perhaps
this one:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537450

As a work-around you can force CUPS to use the texttops filter that
comes with it by creating a file like this:

cat <<EOF >/etc/cups/force-texttops.convs
text/plain  application/postscript  1  texttops
EOF

After cups is next restarted it should use the CUPS texttops filter instead of
the UTF-8 capable paps filter.
