on my system there is no difference whether the line is there or not. I
still think there is a difference to the original PS-code (as you could
see from your logfiles the contents of the two PS files printed
differed. When re-creating a printer, its new PPD is copied
to /etc/cups/ppd/<name>.ppd - maybe the original ppd was not the correct
one and while re-creating the printer you copied to proper one in place.

Could you compare the ppd in /etc/cups/ppd on the working system vs. the
one on the broken system?
