OK, another update and possibly resolution: My CUPS setup consists of two servers. One runs on my day-to-day workstation (no printers directly connected) and the other runs on a print/file/etc server, which is where the Deskjet is connected. Both are running unstable and CUPS 1.2.2-1.
Both CUPS instances have a printer called "deskjet". The workstation's printer's device URI is "ipp://<server>:631/printers/deskjet" pointing to the server's "deskjet" instance, whose device URI is of course "parallel:/dev/lp0." Both printers had been configured to use the CUPS HP Deskjet driver, going back to when I was running CUPS 1.1, and printing from the workstation, including printing of PS files, had worked without problems. I had never tried to print directly from the print server machine, but when I tried (with the google.ps file I attached earlier) it printed correctly. I just switched the workstation instance to use the "Generic postscript color printer rev4" instead of the Deskjet driver, and I can now print at least postscript. It seems that with 1.2.2-1, having both printers use the CUPS Deskjet drivers resulted in an attempt to convert from PS to HP (PCL?) "twice". Is auto-detection of this (which seemed to work with previous CUPS versions) supposed to exist in 1.2.2? If not, then this isn't a bug. Either way I have some manual reading to do to see what I have to configure in order for other types of files to be properly handled: I tried to print a raw text file, but that doesn't work any more (it used to work with earlier versions).
