We all would, Francesco. Thanks for your clear, detailed report.
As far as can tell, this affects queues set up with printer-driver-ijs
and printer-driver-hpcups, and all the raster printer models I tested
are affected. For testing I used
cupsfilter -p <PPD_in_/etc/cups/ppd> -m printer/foo -e /etc/nsswitch.conf > out.dat
Would you and Nicolas download buster's base-files package from
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/base-files/10.3%2Bdeb10u1/#base-files_10.3:2b:deb10u1
and install it with 'dpkg -i ...'? How's that for printing?
Regards,
Brian.
