Now I see you are printing from the Gimp application. More recent versions 
of the Gimp come with a built-in CUPS interface and no longer need to call a 
command line utility (current Gimp is 2.6.x).

But as you told your Gimp writes PostScript print jobs, could you please set 
your CUPS to debug-logging, print a sample and post (an URL to)
a) the chunk of the cups error_log containing the messages related to the 
sample job,
b) the sample file,
c) the mime.types and mime.convs file(s) your cups uses?

I think it should be possible to configure CUPS to properly filter your job.
