As far as my own printer (HP LaserJet 1320) is concerned, I've been
able to work around the bug by changing driver:
# lpadmin -x lj
# lpadmin -p lj -E \
-v 'usb://HP/LaserJet%201320%20series?serial=00CNFW522KS9' \
-m foomatic:HP-LaserJet_1320-pxlmono.ppd \
-o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops \
-L local -D "HP LaserJet 1320"
# lpoptions -p lj -o media=A4 -o sides=two-sided-long-edge
# lpadmin -d lj
I guess this other driver has nothing to do with printer-driver-ijs or
printer-driver-hpcups...

I haven't tried yet. And, since I managed to work around the bug by
changing driver, I am not sure I will find the time to perform the test
real soon now...
But anyway, this looks like the weirdest test I have ever been
requested to perform: how can a downgrade of base-files affect my
ability to print via printer-driver-hpcups?!?
Could you please clarify why you think that downgrading base-files
might help? And, above all, why it has worked for Nicolas?
I am really curious!
