Binary package hint: cups
In brief same file, same printer, same HP PPD, file prints on hardy, but doesn't with jaunty.
Grab a postscript level 2 file such as
http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~radford/ftp/mixmc.ps
Setup a HP LaserJet 4000N with default postscript driver:
*FormatVersion: "4.3"
*FileVersion: "1.1.2 X"
*LanguageEncoding: ISOLatin1
*LanguageVersion: English
*PCFileName: "HP4000_5.PPD"
*Product: "(HP LaserJet 4000 Series)"
*ModelName: "HP LaserJet 4000 Series"
*ShortNickName: "HP LaserJet 4000 Series"
*NickName: "HP LaserJet 4000 Series Postscript (recommended)"
*PSVersion: "(2014.108) 1"
*Manufacturer: "HP"
/etc/cups/lpoptions contains:
Default is2/d
Dest is2/s sides=one-sided
Dest is2/d sides=two-sided-long-edge Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
Dest is2/b sides=two-sided-long-edge Duplex=DuplexNoTumble number-up=2 page-border=single
as on hardy sides=two-sided-long-edge is recognised, but not on jaunty where the Duplex=DuplexNoTumble is necessary (the two should be equalivent, no?)
Now lpr -P is2/b mixmc.ps. Under hardy 8.04.3 (32-bit i386 desktop), you get a copy of an interesting paper.
Under jaunty 9.04 (tried 32-bit desktop and 64-bit server) you get
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: \
STACK:

/bracketleft
...
(all updates current of today on all systems involved, i.e., default versions)
(other postscript files work for both - on jaunty this postscript file appears correct when viewed with gs and gv)
Please run the following command on your jaunty system for some usefull printing related debugging info:
apport-collect -p cups 404214
Also provide a complete cups error_log from jaunty showing the error as described here: https:/
