Public bug reported:

Fresh install of Hardy 8.04, up-to-date with all upgrades from yesterday
(currently installing today's, but none seem to be printing-related).

I select the HP DeskJet 932C driver using hpijs, which is provided by
hpijs-ppds -- note that this driver will not display in the KDE Printing
driver list, also mentioned in bug 209220. After selecting this driver
and attempting a test page, nothing happens. I eventually discovered in
/var/log/cups/error_log:

E [03/Apr/2008:09:49:16 -0400] Filter "foomatic-rip-hplip" for printer
"hpdj932c" not available: No such file or directory

It looks as if this filter file is missing, yet no Ubuntu package
contains it. I'm at a loss for how to proceed, and frankly, if I had to
do anything more than I've already done, there's a bug here as this
ought to be very easy. Near as I can tell, I have everything I'd need
installed:

Would love some help, as my current home printer is now non-functional
as a result.
