HP Color Laserjet 4700 not working after cups update to version 1.7.1

[hypper]

hi all,


after updating cups to version 1.7.1 my postscript network-printer (HP Color Laserjet 4700) doesn't work anymore. even when i try to print a test page multiple pages with a few lines of garbage are printed and no error is reported in /var/log/cups/error_log.


my current config is:

Code: [Select]

i have now problems with an older aptosid installation:

i suggest it has something to do with the replacement of foomatic-filters.


has anyone a suggestion how to solve the problem? can i install foomatic-filters without breaking other packages?




cheers
