Correctly observed. Vinicius has fixed this in the meantime, you can get a corrected version of ps-print.el at http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/emacs/emacs/lisp/ps-print.el?rev=1.181. Unfortunately the emacs-snapshot package is orphaned now, so this fix will not make it into Debian for the foreseeable future.
