I've had a hard time getting my printer running, about 3 days of ripping out my hair,
until I finally found a solution in the german forum:
Downgrading to cups 1.1.14-r4
The problem there was with a HP950C, I'm here with a HP880C.
All problems are gone after downgrading to ver. 1.1.14-r4.
You should think about mask the new cups version or at least giving out a warning for HP-printer users.

It was due to an incompatibility with ghostscript... A fix to ghostscript appears to have fixed the problem... Atleast here.

I'm using gs 7.05.3-r1
If this should be the fixed version I only can say:
At least (worked) not here with cups 1.1.15-r2.

I try cups 1.1.15-r2 occasionally but nothing has changed, not for me at least:
Only cups 1.1.14-r4 works, thus for me it still looks like a bug.
Btw ghostscript 7.05.4 is out since 30.07.02
Found at http://www.linuxprinting.org/
Perhaps this version may fix it...
