I also am using CUPS.

Checking the documentation I see that CUPS provides a version of ghostscript 
called gs-esp:

  Description: The Ghostscript Postscript interpreter - ESP version
    Ghostscript is used for postscript preview and printing.  Usually as
    a back-end to a program such as ghostview, it can display postscript
    documents in an X11 environment.

    Furthermore, it can render postscript files as graphics to be printed
    on non-postscript printers.  Supported printers include common
    dot-matrix, inkjet and laser models.
 
    Package gsfonts contains a set of standard fonts for ghostscript.
 
    This version of gs is a fork of GNU Ghostscript with updated drivers
    and patches, intended mostly for use with the Common UNIX Printing
    System (CUPS) from Easy Software Products (www.easysw.com).  The
    ESP Ghostscript homepage is available at:
 
    http://espgs.sourceforge.net


This may be why systems using CUPS are not having problems, while systems 
using the standard gs are.

Just my 2 cents worth. :)
