I found my own workaround. The crucial insight was this: > So perhaps the root of the problem is in the update process, rather than the new versions of the packages themselves.
I used Synaptic to purge the hpijs, hplip and hplip-data packages. This caused a couple of other packages to be removed. (Other people's systems may have more or fewer dependent packages.) I then used Synaptic to reinstall the latest versions of all five packages (the ubuntu2.1 versions of the packages mentioned here, plus the other packages that were automatically removed). I can now print as easily as before Friday's update. To my pleasant surprise, I didn't need to rediscover the printer. I've detailed the workaround for the benefit of other people who search Launchpad with similar problems. In my view, however, there's still a bug to fix.
