Evince uses GTK+ printing system, that uses PS2 or 3 depending on the
information given in the ppd file of the printer. See the code:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/modules/printbackends/cups/gtkprintbackendcups.c#n336

It uses level 2 by default, so it seems that the ppd file contains
LanguageLevel = 3
