Older versions of tuxpaint didn't attempt to print postscript directly
to lpr; instead, they piped the actual PNG image format data throught
the pipeline "| pngtopnm | pnmtops | lpr".

Here's a debdiff against 0.9.15b-1ubuntu4 that simply removes the Adobe
DSC/EPSF stuff, and pipes it out as a plain PostScript file. This seems
quite likely to work, to me, but may not be the best solution, which I
would believe to be to do Adobe DSC /right/ (including a working
BoundingBox).

Also, I haven't yet looked into the possibility that PostScript features
of a higher level than the one claimed for conformance (level 2) are
being used. Documentation on the printer appears to claim support for
PostScript Level 3, so the issue wouldn't be lack of support for level 2
in the printer.

This patch is for testing purposes /only/: not intended to be used to
create a .deb for uploading (anyway, it's not against the most recent
Edgy version, just the current Dapper one).
