Instead of re-creating the whole print queue setup it should also work to exchange in the existing old PPD in /etc/cups/ppd/quque.pdd ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *cupsFilter: " ... foomatic-rip-hplip" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- with ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *cupsFilter: " ... foomatic-rip" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- i.e. replace "foomatic-rip-hplip" by "foomatic-rip" which is what I did in the PPDs in the hplip RPMs since "Fri Aug 12 10:36:13 CEST 2011" see above.
