Found the answer (see Bug 316461 at bugzilla.redhat.com).  Problem is caused by the \
texttopaps filter in RHEL v5.   Work around is to use the old texttops filter.

Create the file "local.convs" in /etc/cups which contains the following line:
   text/plain         application/postscript   33    texttops

(This is a better solution than modifying the original mime.convs file which will be \
overwritten if a new version of cups is installed.)

Reload the CUPS server:    /sbin/service cups reload
