I just reduced the inkscape drawing to a minimum. This is the 
resulting .ps file:

It draws just two big rectangles. I already found this document:

http://portal.suse.de/sdb/de/2002/12/jsmeix_print-cups-landscape-81.html

but the hints there don't help either, Maybe a cups update will 
help, I didn't try this.

I have SuSE 8.1 with

$ rpm -qa | grep cups
cups-client-1.1.15-132
cups-devel-1.1.15-132
cups-libs-1.1.15-132
cups-drivers-1.1.15-86
cups-drivers-stp-1.1.15-86
cups-1.1.15-132
