Thomas Baumann,
please file a new bug report regarding your particular issue
with the HPCUPS driver and attach your PDF which results
the bad output so that I can reproduce it.

Regarding "Unable to open the initial device" with
the HPIJS driver you may add comments to bug #688614
which could help me to find out the root cause.

> From what I see for now with the PDF in attachment #423966
which I got via bug 686195 it seems the CUPS device
in Ghostscript produces good cups raster data.

I produce cups raster data manually using a command like

  cat /tmp/landscape.pdf \
  | /usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH \
    -dNOMEDIAATTRS -sDEVICE=cups -sstdout=%stderr \
    -sOUTPUTFILE=%stdout -c  -f -_ \
  | cat >/tmp/landscape.cups.raster

(The useful use of cat simulates what happens in the
 printing system - no "seek"-able or "stat"-able files
 but processing as data stream via pipes.)

Afterwards I run

 rasterview /tmp/landscape.cups.raster

and it looks o.k. - I have CUPS RasterView installed from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/

But then the HPCUPS driver seems to fail to print it correctly
on my HP LaserJet 1020 so that from my current point of view
it seems the CUPS device in Ghostscript is fixed
but a different issue in the HPCUPS driver results
an insufficient printout.

If it is really a bug in the HPCUPS driver, we cannot fix it
because we do not have the model-specific knowledge to fix
bugs in the driver so that we could only "Report a Bug" at
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/support.html

On the other hand with Ghostscript 8.70 the HPCUPS driver
results a good printout which indicates that there are
more issues in Ghostscript 9.00...
