Details
Description: (Probably) After updating to cups 1.6.1 and
hplip 3.12.6 my printer (HP Officejet Pro 8000) doesn't work
correct anymore. When using hpcups (configured through cups
webinterface or hp-setup) I can only print pdf documents.
Other documents are printed as completly black pages. Duplex
printing is not possible, even if I choose appropriate media
sizes and the corresponding 'installable option'. In
/var/log/cups/error_log I can find the following line:
E [07/Aug/2012:11:58:45 +0200] [cups-driverd] Bad driver information file "/usr/share/cups/drv/cupsfilters.drv"! When using hpijs, I can choose all options in printing menus, for example in evince or libreoffice, but after taking the paper, printing stops. In the webinterface I can read 'Filter Failed'. A page with *** Unable to open the initial device, quitting. is printed. The output of hp-setup after a fresh install of cups and hplip, before configuring the printer is attached as hp-check.txt. Additional info: * package version(s) cups 1.6.1-2, cups-filters 1.0.20-1, hplip 3.12.6-3, foomatic-db foomatic-db-engine fommatic-filters (each) 1:4.0.17_20120712-1 * config and/or log files etc.

This task depends upon
If this is a usb printer you may want to try the latest patch from this report: http://cups.org/str.php?L4128+Qversion:1.6
Your error seems somehow driver related. This is a hplip driver? Can you use a different generic one to test from foomatic ppds?
We need to sort out if this error is cups-filter or ghostscript or hplips driver related.
