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.
