This has little to do with CUPS. It has everything to do with the
GhostScript upgrade. The new GS no longer has a device named 'hpdj'.
What filter package do you have installed? I have magicfilter, and I
had to change the dj590c-filter file to use 'cdj590' or something like
that. Ideally, we should have the Official HP Drivers (hpijs)
packaged up -- then we could use the 'D6xx' driver for GS instead.
