I have the exact same problem going from cupsomatic-ppd_0.20010420-3
to foomatic-bin_0.20020213-1, in fact I've filed a bug report,
Bug#131786. It's definately a Debian-only problem. Didn't happen with
the previous version of cupsomatic-ppd and doesn't happen from
windoze. I'm using a HP ColorLaserJet 5M PS and cups (Debian
cupsys 1.1.12-5 package) on Debian testing distribution.

What filter are you using Ernesto? Magicfilter, cups, etc. What type
of printer?

Gary
