Well, it does look a problem with Ghostscript and/or foomatic, and not
with cups proper. It appears to me (though I'm no expert) that CUPS
(the spooler) hands off the job to Ghostscript successfully, but then GS
can't process it correctly, probably because it's trying to open a
non-existent device. I don't use the foomatic toolchain, so I'm afraid
I can't be of much more assistance. Some questions that come to mind
though... Did you possibly have a choice of drivers at some point during
the Ghostscript or foomatic install? Are there any other drivers you
could pick in the printer configuration that seem reasonable? Also, I
know there's an HP driver somewhere - hpijs maybe? Is that applicable
here? However it works out, it appears that you need to be using a
different GS driver than you're trying right now.
Sorry I can't be more helpful... hopefully someone with an HP is
reading...
