I realize this is way outdated now, but I came across the same
problem. My imshow command would display fine in the
xwindow and all plotting devices except for .ps. Taking the advice
you guys gave, I tracked it down
to pdftops in the backends.ps.py file. I changed the command from:
command = 'pdftops -paper match -level2 "%s" "%s" > "%s"' % (ptype,
tmpfile, pdffile, outfile)
to
command = 'pdftops -paper match -level1sep "%s" "%s" > "%s"' % (ptype,
tmpfile, pdffile, outfile)
Now the images look fine in postscript. For some reason, my pdftops
does not like -level2 postscript.

You are right. I removed xpdf-utils from my machine and installed
poppler-utils instead (which on Ubuntu conflicts with xpdf-utils). The
result is now correct.
Thanks for your help!!
