I got in touch with the CUPS developers and I have a quick and nasty
workaround which is to comment out the "text/plain" line in
/usr/share/cups/mime/texttopdf.convs.
What the CUPS developer said to me was (with some context from the
exchange) :-
>>> D [04/Dec/2009:17:42:00 +0000] PID 2650 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/tex>
>>
>> This is the problem. Please report this to the Ubuntu folks - they
need to fix their text f ilter.

Look for a *.convs file in /usr/share/cups/mime or /etc/cups that has
"texttopdf" in it. Comment out any lines that refer to this filter and>

They need to support the standard CUPS text options documented here:
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/options.php
So the problem is a filter misconfiguration.
