Which is your printer command?

Can you use instead of a ps-print-* command the matching ps-spool-* command? 
The latter will produce a buffer *PostScript*. You can save that buffer's 
contents to a file. Can you view the file in a PostScript viewer? Can you 
convert it to PDF and display the PDF file? Finally: can you manually print the 
PS or PDF file? Which utilities did you use to display and convert?

Are the variables printer-name (for ASCII) or ps-printer-name (for PS/PDF) set 
in GNU Emacs? How is printing working when you launch (another) GNU Emacs with 
-Q, i.e., without any customisation (except that by debian/ubuntu)?

Another option is stop the printing system. Then everything you send to the 
printer is just spooled into a queue, in /var/spool/cups or such. You then can 
examine what was sent to the printer.
