Thank you for finding this out!
All PPDs generated by Foomatic have the TTRasterizer line, and therefore
the problem does not occur for most non-PostScript printers. HP once
decided to switch to CUPS DDK for generating the PPDs, though they use
foomatic-rip as filter. It seems that some (or all) of the HPLIP PPDs
did not have the TTRasterizer line any more and cause the problem.
I have checked two of my HPLIP PPDs and they have a TTRasterizer line. I
use HPLIP 3.9.6b in Karmic, perhaps the problem is already fixed there.
Anyone at HP, can you please check whether all HPLIP PPDs get the
"*TTRasterizer: Type42" line? It is needed for all non-PostScript
printers (where the input goes through Ghostscript).
