As lp3.ps displays correctly with Ghostscript ("gs l3.ps") it is
possible that we are hitting a bug of the PostScript interpreters in
many HP printers here (or even more than one bug, as the HP LaserJet
P3005 crashes). So it is not necessarily to be fixed in Poppler but by
perhaps by HP in their PPDs.
The simplest fix HP could do is following Ron Morse's suggestion to
switch their PPDs to PostScript Level 2 by changing the
"*LanguageLevel:" lines. Perhaps their are more sophisticated solutions,
like adding a "*JobPatchFile"s, but this only the developers at HP can
now.
