Using the debian snapshot repository, I have narrowed the issue down to
the breakage occurring in version 1.4.4-5 as version 1.4.4-4 works.
There are only two changes in that version according to the changelog:
cups (1.4.4-5) unstable; urgency=low
[ Martin Pitt ]
* ubuntu-upstart.dpatch: Drop the dependency "on starting smbd", it
causes
samba to hang on package upgrades or manual restarts. There doesn't
seem
to be a good way to express this dependency right now. (LP: #639768)
Instead, send a SIGHUP to smbd if it is running, which causes it to
reload
printers.
[ Till Kamppeter ]
* pstops-based-workflow-only-for-printing-ps-on-a-ps-printer.dpatch:
Let CUPS use the former PostScript-based filter chain only if the
input
file is PostScript and the printer is a PostScript printer with
manufacturer-supplied PPD file. This avoids ugly PS->PDF->PS
conversions
which are bad for the performance and sometimes cause issues
(Closes: #593338, requested by Ricoh).

It looks like the second change by Till Kamppeter is what killed the
ps-print from emacs. I don't know if this is an emacs or cups problem.
I am suspecting a cups problem. I had forgotten about this bug when I
submitted bug report 623612 for emacs. Version 1.4.4-5 is the first
version I get the errors on the printout itself as described in the
initial bug report. It is also the first version that I get an error in
the cups log:
